Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna wait

Your love is such a natural thing
Oh, the way you hold my hand
Your kiss is a wonderful thing
Oh, lift me up, oh baby, ooh

(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, I say it again
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, no baby, no
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, no, no, no

Your eyes tell me a story
And baby, I'm wanna see myself in the end, yeah, I do
Your pride give me all the glory
I just won't find no better friend, no, no, out there

(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, I tell you again
(I don't wanna wait) I don't want to wait for your love, no, baby, no
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, no, no, ooh

Come to me one last time
I need it again and again, oh baby
Your touch is the best thing yet
Oh, loving me all too much, ooh, it's so good, come and say now

Once I get this feeling and I see you
Girl, I need it, ooh, baby
I can't wait much longer, if it takes longer
Baby, I need it right now, oh yeah

(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, I tell you, girl
(I don't wanna wait) I don't want to wait for your love, no, now
(I don't wanna wait) I don't wanna wait for your love, no, no, baby
(I don't wanna wait) make me filled with good stuffs, no way
And I don't know, and I don't know with your love, can you hear me say




(I don't wanna wait) I'm not patiently waiting and I can't wait on your love
No way, no, no way, no, no, no, no, no

Love this song

@musicalSFCat

This song simply blows me away due to the FACT Kelly Finnigan took and truly did justice to the real "old school R&B/Soul/Motown" era!
I Don't Wanna Wait has been on "high play" in my musical world. Inspiring to say the least.

I'm an avid buyer of soul records. I'm in the UK and buy from all over the world. I only collect 45s. Sometimes I buy a record and find an extra freebie with it; sometimes good, sometimes bad. But this is a first for me. I received this record by mail but don't know who sent it ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ I had never heard the record before. I prefer uptempo dancers but when they ooze that special something tempo is irrelevant. A massive thank you to the mystery sender of this 45. Absolute class ๐Ÿ‘Œ And what a shock to see the release date ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I hope i get more mystery record mailers through the door ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Moe_Preme

I come back to this often for the nostalgia that hasnโ€™t even accumulated in time yet. Call me the future. ๐Ÿš€

@chast60

Every now and then someone gets it exactly right, this is a case in point. Fabulously authentic, even has the angels on backing vocals.. superb!

@soulfulshoes
