I Can’t Wait Lyrics

[Intro]
Baby, I can't wait

[Verse 1]
My love, tell me what it's all about
You've got something
That I can't live without
Happiness, is so hard to find
Hey baby, tell me what is on your mind

[Chorus 1]
Cause I can't wait (baby, I can't wait)
Till you call me on the telephone
I can't wait (baby, I can't wait)
Till we're all alone (I can't wait)

[Verse 2]
You know I love you
Even when you don't try
I know, that our love will never die
Hey darling, when you look into my eye
Please tell me, you'll never have to say goodbye

[Chorus 2]
Cause I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) this is what I've been waiting for
I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) 'till my love walked in the door
I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) true love is so hard to find
I found yours, you found mine
I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) tell me what is on your mind (I can't wait)
[Outro]
(I can't wait) I can't wait
Say it one more time (baby, I can't wait) tell me what is on your mind
Oh I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) this is what I've been waiting for
Oh I can't wait (baby, I can't wait) 'till my love walked in the door

Genius Annotation

“I Can’t Wait” is a hit song by husband-and-wife duo Nu Shooz. Originally the song was released independently in 1985 on an EP called Tha’s Right. It became a regional hit on radio stations in Portland, Oregon and somehow caught the attention of producer Peter Slaghuis in the Netherlands. Slaghuis remixed it into the version that most people know, commonly known as the Long “Dutch” Version. This remix caught the attention of Atlantic Records who signed Nu Shooz and re-issued the “I Can’t Wait” as part of the album Poolside the following year. The single topped American dance charts in 1986 and even made it to #2 in the UK.
