Wait for you
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, wait for a minute
Yeah can you wait for a minute?
Yeah wait for a minute, wait for a minute
Girl just a minute

Well if you walk (if you walk)
With me (with me)
Well if you take (well if you take)
My hand babe (my hand babe)
We can go (we can go)
To a place (to a place)
You ain't never seen before (seen before)
(Yeah)oh

(Yeah) slow dance in the moonlight (moonlight)
I'm just tryna set the mood right (mood right)
I'm just doing what I do, do it over and over and over

Quickly wanna run with me now
Swiftly just come with me now
Footsteps go to the beat now
Over and over and over

It's just the way that, the way that
The way that you do it, babe (do it babe)
(Yeah)
Oh I can say that, say that, say that
I behave (I behave)
But I'd be lying babe (I'd be lying babe)
Let's run away for a minute (away for a minute)
Away for a minute babe (away for a minute)
Just wanna wait for a minute (play for a minute)
A dream place for a minute, place for a minute babe

Hold up, I don't need no love
I said that with a straight face, baby that's poker
Feel a lil sober, got it mixed in my soda
I clean up good, aropa, dopa
Baby I'm the shit but that's a good odor
I'm a young star but my money look Yoda
Crib on the ocean, backyard boat shit
You hating on the internet, I couldn't even notice
Tickets no service, we at the top working
Pop-pops is lurking, told her don't get nervous
I don't swerve Suburbans, this a gold derby
Ferrari's and horses, I snap like tourist
No rug, I floor it, girl, come feel important
I'm all about a dollar, babe, banks call me Georgi
Nine Five Rollie, nine six Kobe,
Tonight we gon' ball like Ginobili you know me
I'm just tryna

Slow dance in the moonlight
I'm just tryna set the mood right (mood right)
I'm just doing what I do do it over and over and over

Quickly wanna run with me now
Swiftly just come with me now
Footsteps go to the beat now
Over and over and over

It's just the way that, the way that
The way that you do me, babe (yeah)
Oh (? I like that)
Well I can say that, say that, say that
I behave (I behave)
But I'd be lying babe (I'd be lying babe)
Let's run away for a minute (away for a minute)
Away for a minute babe (away for a minute)
Wanna wait for a minute (play for a minute)
A dream place for a minute, place for a minute babe
