I’ve been waiting for too long
Now the feeling is too strong

You got me longing for more and more
The way you shaking is beautiful

You be on my mind like all the time
Movies we be making Shonda rhymes
Putting all my feelings on the line yeah
Make me put in work like overtime
But I like it
And I know you like it
You don’t have to be shy
You don’t have to fight it
You know what vibe is
We can keep it private
Kole ye won

I’ve been waiting for too long
Now the feeling is too strong
I know what you came for
Got you singing that new song
You got me longing for more and more
The way you shaking is beautiful
I’ve been waiting for too long
She wan make I
