I've Been Waiting
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
I've been waiting up
'Cause I can't get enough, oh
I feel I'm fading (yeah)
When I fall apart
Your music starts my heart, oh
Mess it up and make me just go crazy
I'm living for the song that you just made me love
I'm dreaming for the dancing on the daily
You're the only one that I want
Break my heart but don't tell me I'm not doin' fine
'Cause I'm doin' fine
Let me go, I'm spendin' time
Not doin' fine but I'm doin' fine
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my love vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin'?
I've been dreamin' (uh)
Of your uniform
Your uniform of non-conformity
The tears, the tears
Tears aren't strong enough
The years aren't long enough, no
Mess it up and make me just go crazy
I'm living for the song that you just made me love (whoa, yeah)
I'm dreaming for the dancing on the daily
You're the only one that I want (yeah)
Break my heart but don't tell me I'm not doin' fine
'Cause I'm doin' fine
Let me go, I'm spendin' time
Not doin' fine but I'm doin' fine
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain?
It's hard to miss you when words are
Always on the tip of my tongue, now (oh, oh, oh)
I feel like I'm looking for somethin'
Somethin' that'll never come
Call me when you're in the city again
My head just went oblivion
It's hard to miss you
When you are always on the tip of my tongue
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain?
It's hard to miss you when words are
Always on the tip of my tongue, now (oh, oh, oh)
I feel like I'm looking for somethin'
Somethin' that'll never come
Oh oh I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
(I'll be waiting) (for you)
And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (I'll be waiting)
And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (for you)

And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong
And now, when the opportune time has arrived, you desire to treat me unjustly
