I'm Still Waiting
Diana Ross · The Greatest [2011]
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you
Then one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said
Little girl please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day it will surely come
Ooh Little Girl please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day it will surely come
And I'm still waiting
(Oh oh oh whoa oh)
I'm waiting
(Oh oh oh whoa oh)
Ooh still waiting
(I'm just a fool)
Oh I'm a fool
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
To keep waiting
(I'm just a fool)
For you
(I'm just a fool)
Ooh I'm Waiting
(Fool, I'm just a fool)
I'm Still Waiting
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
For Love
(I'm just a fool)
For you
(I'm Just a Fool)
Then someone finally came
He told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies
He could see I had no eyes
So he left me
Once again alone
Like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said
Little girl please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day it will surely come
Ooh Little Girl please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day it will surely come
And I'm still waiting
(oh oh oh Whoa oh)
Love has never shown his face
Since the day he walked out that door
He filled my life an empty space
Come back can't you see it's you I'm waiting for
(I'm just a fool)
Don't you know I'm Waiting
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh I'm waiting
(I'm just a fool)
For Love
(I'm just a fool)
For you
(Fool, I'm just a fool)
I Miss you
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh I'm Waiting
(I'm just a fool)
Come back boy
(I'm Just a Fool)
Come back come back
(I'm just a fool)
Come back Boy
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh I need ya
(I'm just a fool)
Ooh Ooh and I want you
(I'm just a fool)
That's what I'm afraid to say
(Fool, I'm just a fool)
A fool
(I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
But I'm still waiting
(I'm just a fool)
For you
(I'm Just a Fool)
Come back boy
I'm Still Waiting
