I see you from across the room 
 I thought I wouldn't feel a thing 
 I think it's getting colder now 
 I wanna get close to you 
 I swear that we've been here before 
 I guess you didn't notice me 
 But you do now 
 Oh, you do now 
    What are you waitin' for? 
 What are you waitin' for? 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 Oh, I've been standin' here 
 What are you waitin' for? 
 What are you waitin' for? 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 It's never been so clear   
 I get it if you wanna wait, 'cause I stay in my place 
 I ain't got nowhere to go, I got plenty time to waste 
 I think I'm falling in love, but that's not enough 
 If you don't feel the same, I guess I'll leave you alone   
 But it's time and time again, baby, you're never listenin', baby 
 If there's no promises made, I don't ever wanna fall in love 
 I don't ever wanna mess it up, we're runnin' out of luck   
 What are you waitin' for? (For) 
 What are you waitin' for? (For) 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 Oh, I've been standin' here 
 What are you waitin' for? (What are you waitin' for?) 
 What are you waitin' for? (For) 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 It's never been so clear   
 (Why do you wait? Why do you wait?) 
 (Why do you wait? Why do you wait?) 
 (Why do you wait? Why do you wait?) 
 (Why do you wait? Why do you wait?)   
 Tell me to stay, you're wastin' my time 
 Every day I'm waitin' in line 
 Standing in place, 'cause, baby, that's all I know 
 Why do you wait? Just tell me   
 What are you waitin' for? 
 What are you waitin' for? 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 Oh, I've been standin' here 
 What are you waitin' for? (Why do you wait? Why do you wait?) 
 What are you waitin' for? 
 'Cause I've been standin' here 
 Oh, I've been standin' here, oh
