[Intro: Niia]
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da
[Verse 1: Niia]
Yeah, I know, she's still the background on your phone, and
I know, I know, it takes time to get someone out your mind
But you don't give me any signs
And I told you all the passwords to mine
And I'll admit I haven't been completely faithful
It was way back, in April, and we didn't have a label
Yeah, I tried to play it cool, 'cause we're never really stable
It's never ever able to figure out
[Chorus: Niia]
Keep waiting for the right time
While you keep me on the side line
I'm sick of all this trying, trying, trying
While I watch you drift further away, yeah
[Verse 2: Jazmine Sullivan]
It's like I have you but I don't really have you
But I'm giving you all of me, when I only get half of you
Sometimes I'm way too understanding and I give too many chances
I keep making up excuses while you make-off like a bandit
But now, it's getting harder to ignore
[?] was so little but I want so much more from you, my dear
You've got to make things clear
[Chorus: Niia & Jazmine Sullivan]
Keep waiting for the right time
While you keep me on the side line
I'm sick of all this trying, trying, trying
While I watch you drift further away, yeah
[Bridge: Niia & Jazmine Sullivan]
I know I'm better than you make me feel
Told me you'd love me so I'd know it's real
You know I try, try to believe in us
Try to believe in us, but it gets hard as fuck, you know it
Keep waiting for the right time
Still on that side line
I'm so far away
[Chorus: Niia & Jazmine Sullivan]
Waiting for the right time
While you keep me on the side line
I'm sick of all this trying, trying, trying
While I watch you drift further away
Waiting for the right time
While you keep me on the side line
I'm sick of all this trying, trying, trying
While I watch you drift further away, yeah
[Outro]
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Ooh
