What is it gonna take for me, babe?
To get a hold of someone like you
I'm gonna wait as long as I have to
Don't say there's somethin' if it ain't there
I know the way you treat me ain't fair

Girl, I won't lie, this life is borin', yeah
And without you, it's unimportant (yes, it is)
I wish somebody woulda told me
How it'd be right now (how it would be)

It's nothing personal, I know it, yeah
I need a shawty who gon' own it (who gon' own it)
I wish somebody woulda told me
How it'd be right now

And this is gonna take some time, babe
To get a hold of someone like you, you, you, you
And I'm gonna wait as long as I have to
Don't say there's somethin' if it ain't there
I know the way you treat me ain't fair

Girl, I won't lie, this life is borin', yeah
And without you, it's unimportant (yes, it is)
