I Don't Want to Wait
E-Magine Lyrics

Ayy
Expression of acknowledgement or agreement

I waited for you all day
I have been patiently anticipating your arrival the entire day

I been away on the road for a little while
I have been traveling for some time

Today I'm headin' home to make my baby smile
Today, I am returning home with the intention of bringing joy to my significant other

She hates it when I am over a thousand miles
She strongly dislikes it when I am far away, spanning over a large distance of a thousand miles

Away, and I'm not there to pick up when she dials, yeah
However, I am not physically present to answer her calls during this time

She's always lookin back, and sayin' 'There was a time
She frequently reminisces and comments on a previous period

When you would be around every single night
During which you used to be present consistently every night

Now, I'm not sayin' that I want another guy
I am not suggesting that I desire the companionship of another man

But I need you here for the good times, and the bad times
However, I require your presence both during joyful moments and difficult situations

Yeah, the pullin' out my hair gettin' mad time
Indeed, the moments when I become frustrated and overwhelmed to the point of tearing my hair out

Not just when I'm in your bed on my back time
Not solely when we are intimate and in a vulnerable position

'Cause baby every time I call it's a bad time
Because, darling, it always seems to be an inconvenient moment whenever I reach out to you

Just want you here on your own
I simply desire you to be physically present and by yourself

There ain't no diamonds, silver or gold
There are no precious gemstones or expensive materials

That can replace a man's love in a home
That can substitute the affection and care of a man within a household

And she keeps tellin' me over and over
She continues to emphasize and repeat to me

She say, 'I don't want your money, baby, oh
She expresses, 'I do not desire your wealth, my dear

You know, I just want your time'
You are aware that I simply crave your presence and attention'

I used to be around more, but I was strapped for cash
In the past, I used to spend more time in close proximity, but I had financial difficulties

And that's not attractive, workin' my ass off
And that lack of financial stability is not appealing, despite my intense efforts

Tryna make a success outta myself, I guess
Attempting to achieve success and establish myself, I suppose

I couldn't be more present, but I was in a mess
Although I could not have been more emotionally available, I was in a state of chaos

I remember bein' on tour, stayin' up on the phone
I recall being on tour and staying awake late at night while talking on the phone

Thirty minute conversation, 'Boy, when you comin' home?'
Engaging in a conversation lasting thirty minutes, questioning, 'My love, when will you return home?'

I can't be buildin' a family life here on my own
I cannot construct a familial existence in this place without your presence

Baby, I'm doin' it for us, so why you takin' that tone?
Darling, I am striving to achieve greatness for the sake of our relationship, so why are you expressing yourself in such a manner?

Like I'm the bad guy
You are treating me as if I am the antagonist

I thought it would've made me better in your dad's eyes
I believed that my efforts would have garnered more approval from your father

I'm busy stackin' up the paper for the bad times
I am currently occupied accumulating wealth to prepare for difficult periods

'Cause, baby, you never know
Because, my dear, one can never predict the future

I'm poppin' right now, but there will come a day when I won't
I am currently experiencing success and recognition, but inevitably, there will be a time when that is no longer the case

You know you're my baby (you know you're my baby)
You are aware that you hold a significant place in my heart

I'm sorry I been away, yeah, no lie
I sincerely apologize for my absence, without any falsehood

Boy, you drive me crazy
My love, you cause me great emotional distress

Why you gotta mess with my mind?
Why do you have to toy with my thoughts and emotions?

You know you're my baby (you know you're)
You are cognizant of the fact that you are my beloved

I'm sorry I been away, yeah, no lie
I genuinely apologize for my extended absence, without any deception

Boy, you drive me crazy, you know
Darling, you truly cause me to feel insane, you understand

You know, I don't want your money baby, oh
You comprehend that I am uninterested in your financial wealth, my dear

You know I just want your time
You understand that I solely desire your presence and attention

She say, 'I don't want your money baby, oh
She expresses, 'I have no interest in your wealth, my dear

You know, I just want your time
You understand that I solely desire your presence and attention

And I love, and I love, and I love you
I possess immense love and affection for you

Yeah, I love, and I love, and I love you
Indeed, I deeply and fervently love you

And I love, and I love, and I love you
Furthermore, I have a profound and abundant love for you

But I want your time, oh
However, what I truly desire from you is your presence and attention

Want your time, time
I long for your presence and attention, repeatedly
