I Can't Wait Another Minute
Hi-Five Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we talk alone?
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
Little lady you look so fine
Can't turn my eyes away
So much I want to say, and
We'll turn the lights down low
And dance so very slow
I know that we don't know each other well
But I can't believe I'm wasting your time, oh no
So tell me what to do
For the love of you tonight
'Cause I've been holding back what I feel
Love's so real
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
'Cause I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
'Cause I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love
Your love...
No...
No no baby
Sweet lady
Don't you look away
I don't mean to make you shy
But we haven't got much time
Tonight I know just what to say, yeah
I'll love your cares away
And you and I will find a way
You know that there's a possibility
That we'll never get this chance once again, oh no
So tell me what to do
For the love of you tonight
Baby tonight
'Cause I've been holding back what I feel
Love's so real
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
'Cause I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
'Cause I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love
Your love...
No...
No no baby
I know that we don't know each other well
But I can't believe I'm wasting your time, oh no
So tell me what to do for the love of you
Tonight...
Tonight baby
'Cause I've been holding back what I feel
Love's so real
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
'Cause I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
'Cause I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love
Your love...
No...
No no baby
(I can't wait another minute)
(Not another minute baby)
But I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute
'Cause I've been holding back all I feel
I'm for real
'Cause I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another minute for your love
Ooh...no...
Don't make me wait another minute
Oh no baby
For your love

In 1991 I got my wife to fall in love with me singing this song to her. Here we are more than 30 years later. I still jam it. And occasionally sing it.
