I'm Still Waiting
Diana Ross (Karaoke) Lyrics

I remember when
I recall a time in the past

I was five and you were ten, boy
When I was young, you were older than me by a few years

You knew that I was shy
You were aware that I was introverted or nervous

So you teased and made me cry
You would purposely provoke me and cause me to shed tears

But I loved you
Despite your actions, I still had affection for you

Then one day you came
At some point in time, you arrived

You told me you were leaving
You announced that you were departing or going away

You gave your folks the blame
You attributed your departure to your parents or family members rather than your own decision

And made me cry again
Once more, you caused me to weep

When you said:
At the moment you uttered these words

Little girl
A term of endearment used to refer to someone younger than oneself

Please don't wait for me
I implore you not to linger or anticipate my return

Wait patiently for love
Be patient for affection or companionship

Someday will surely come
A time will arrive at which point your desired outcome will occur

Ooh, little girl
An exclamation of sympathy or empathy directed at someone younger

And I'm still waiting
Despite the passage of time, I am continuing to anticipate your return

I'm waiting
I am lingering or expecting a desired outcome

Ooh, still waiting
I am still anticipating or hoping for something to happen

I'm just a fool
I am acting foolishly or naively

Ooh, I'm a fool
An exclamation acknowledging one's own foolishness or naivete

To keep waiting
It is foolish to continue such a course of action

Then someone finally came
After a period of time, another person arrived

He told me that he loved me
He expressed his affection for me

I put him off with lies
I rejected or denied his advances through deceit

He could see I had no eyes
He realized that I did not have feelings for him

So he left me once again alone
He departed and left me without companionship or affection

Like a child without her playmate
I felt like a youngster without a friend to play with or spend time with

I had to face the truth
I was forced to confront or acknowledge a painful reality

I was still in love with you
Despite everything, my affection for you had not diminished

But you said:
Your words in the following lines

Love has never shown his face
Affection or companionship has never materialized

Since the day you walked out that door
From the moment you left, nothing has changed

You filled my life with empty space
Your presence was sorely missed, and my life felt incomplete without you

Come back
I implore you to return

Can't you see it's you I'm waiting for
The object of my anticipation and affection is you

Don't you know I'm waiting
I hope that you are aware of my continued expectations

Come on back, boy
A plea for the return of someone referred to endearingly as a boy

I need you
I require your presence or assistance

I want you
I desire your companionship, affection, or presence

That's what my friends says
According to my acquaintances or associates
