Wait Til The Morning
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting on the front porch thinking about what happened
And how it all went down that shit was crazy
But you know I can't afford to lose my lady
But you know lately we been going crazy
But you know we're bigger than any of this
And you know that we ain't ready to split
Am I wrong for thinking it'll all go away
Or you could just carry on like you didn't see my face

I'm tryna fix it all
You tryna tell it all
Could we just hold this off and wait till the morning
I know I did her wrong
But you tryna cut us off
Can we just hold this off
And wait till the morning

Wait till the morning (I know you gone tell her)
Wait till the morning (I know you gone tell her)
Wait till the morning (I know you gone tell her)
Wait till the morning

I've gotta tell her though I'm not bold enough
Even though I know I'm old enough
Loving her like I did before just ain't enough
Only a fool would do the same thing
So I'm gonna call that place that I know she like
Tell 'em to hook it up hop in my truck every red light's a green light
Then I pull up run up to the door had to be midnight
And I knew what it was when that phone rang

I'm tryna fix it all
But you tryna tell it all
Could we just hold this off and wait till the morning
I know I did her wrong
But you tryna cut us off
Can we just hold this off
And wait till the morning

Wait till the morning (I know you gone tell her)
Wait till the morning (can you wait yeah)
Wait till the morning
(I just need one more night to make love to her like my wife) (Wait till the morning)
(I know you gone tell her)
Wait till the morning
Wait till the morning
Wait till the morning

I know you loyal
To your girl though
But I love her
No more undercover
She my baby
And you her best friend
I know my name ain't worth more than dirt right now but please listen

Please don't tell her tonight
Please don't tell her tonight (wait till the morning)
Please don't tell her tonight
Please don't tell her tonight (wait till the morning)

Please don't tell her tonight (wait till the morning)
Please don't tell her tonight
Please don't tell her tonight (wait till the morning)

I know you can't (wait till the morning)

Ring, ring, ring, ring
Ring, ring, ring, ring
I know now you not answering your phone
And I gotta talk to you

All I ask of you
Is just don't lie to me
Just don't lie to me, hmm
All I ask of you
Is just don't lie to me
Just don't lie to me
I've given you my heart
I've given my soul
So just don't lie




I've given you every part of me
So just don't lie to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Wait Til The Morning" by BJ The Chicago Kid is about a man who is reflecting on his past mistakes and trying to fix things with his lover. He's sitting on his front porch, thinking about what happened and how crazy it all was, but he can't afford to lose his lady. Although they've been going through a rough patch lately, he believes that they're bigger than any of this and they're not ready to split. However, he's afraid that his lover will tell her best friend (who he's also friends with) about what happened between them, and it will only make things worse. He pleads with her to hold off and wait till the morning, giving him one more night to make love to her like his wife.


The chorus repeats throughout the song, with the man asking his lover to hold off and wait till the morning. He knows he did her wrong, but he's trying to fix things, while his lover is trying to cut them off. He regrets his actions and wants nothing more than to make things right with her. The bridge of the song reveals that the man's lover is also friends with the woman he had an affair with, and although he knows his name isn't worth more than dirt right now, he begs her not to tell her friend about what happened, at least not tonight. He knows he can't change the past, but he's hoping for forgiveness and a chance to make things right between them.
