Can't Help But Wait
Trey Songz · Step Up 2 The Streets [2008]
I can't help but wait
Ohh uh
Can't help but wait
I see you, you with him
He ain't right but you don't trip
You stand by while he lies
then turn right round and forgive
I can't take to see your face
With those tears runnin down your cheeks
But what can I do
I gotta stay true
Because deep down I'm still a G
And I don't want to come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
Girl I can't help but wait
Till you get back with him it don't change
Can't help but wait
Till you see that with me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait
It aint fresh to just let him call the shots
You're a queen you should be
Gettin all that someone's got
You should be rockin the latest with purses
bracelets and watches you're worth
Much more than that occasional I love you
I'm thinking of you and I don't wanna come
between you and your man no
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
Girl I can't help but wait
Till you get back with him it don't change
Can't help but wait
Till you see that with me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait
Get it together
You can do better
See is believin
And I see what you need so
I'm going to play my position
Let you catch what you've been missing
I'm calling out
Girl cuz I can't help but wait
Till you get back with him it don't change
Can't help but wait
Till you see that with me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait
Till you get back with him
It don't change
Can't help but wait
Till you see that with me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait
