Wait For You
Fantasia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you and I'm wishing that you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know
So now I'm all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they
Keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do I'll wait for you

It's been a long time since you called me (how could you forget about me)
You got me feeling crazy (crazy)
How can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me,
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying

Baby why can't we just start over again?
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough

So baby I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do I'll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you're keeping inside
That's not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do I'll wait for you





I'll be waiting

I have to say that this song is so easy on the ears. Well, my ears. It's makes me want to close my eyes and dance, even though it's a love anthem. It's such a timeless song. It's different for Fantasia, but I love it. I find myself singing the "On ana-on-ana-on-ana-on I'll Wait For you" at work all the time. Another thing I love about this song is the ending(the ooooo-hoooo part). I love that and wish she/they could have played with that a little more.

Tasia, this is an amazing track. I kind of wish I had this track when I got married. I enjoy this rock/soul. You have always had me bobbing my head but this one is one for the record books. Keep taking risks.

Joshua McDowell

I love this song. I was hooked as soon as I heard it. It's different, but I love it. I love the EDM feel. It reminds of something Disclosure would do.

Dee Johnson

Joyce Cunningham
