"When I first emerged on the scene as a recording artist, there was no smooth jazz but there was support for my music on R&B and Urban radio and that support has only continued to grow," says Waters, who in recent years has enjoyed considerable airplay on Urban AC radio with his projects like Streetwize and Tha’ Hot Club, which reinvent chart-topping hip hop, R&B and reggae hits with a jazzy twist. For Waters his formula is simple. “I make music for everybody from eight to 80! There are several ingredients that are integral parts of my music mix. There’s got to be a perfect blend of romance and groove and a singable melody that catches the ear.” Kim Waters’ 2004 CD, In the Name of Love, held a spot in the top 25 of Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts for six months and stayed on that chart for an entire year.

Kim Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'yes' and don't say, 'no'
Honey, not tonight
And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Not one more minute baby
The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand, ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll take a flight and spend the night honey
In wonderland
Now move a little close to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
And I need your love so desperately and only you can
Set me free
When I make to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame naw
Cause love won't let me wait
Oh listen boy
Love won't let me wait
My temperature's risin', ooh
(love won't let me wait) won't let me
Not another minute
(love won't let me wait) won't let me
