Knowles, Solange - Don't You Wait Lyrics






I gave it all away that night
It was taking a little time, oh
I gave it all I got but now you better know that I know for sure
Yeah I made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing oh

I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me

Now I don't want to bite the hand that'll show me the other side, no
But I didn't want to build the land that has fed you your whole life, no
Don't you find it funny

Yeah I made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing

I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me

I don't wanna wanna wanna wait
I don't wanna wanna wanna wait

Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me

    I gave it all I got but now you better know that I know for sure, oh

    [Refrain]
    You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out

    Still looking for nothing

    [Refrain]
    You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
    Now looking back for temporary nothings
    But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
    Still looking for nothing

    Absolute classic album and its still new love solange

  54. 9.... ....

    People like Solange give me hope for the future in music. The cool thing about today's artists is the chance to channel the past legends and combine the sounds and music into this new age hybrid sound that I PROFOUNDLY SUPPORT🙋🏾‍♂️🙏🏾✊🏾❤ 2017

  55. S.... M....

    I wish this song had a music video. This is a beautiful song.

    S.... M....

    Shawn Myrelle me too I was wondering the same thing..I wish she did a video on this too.

  56. T.... F....

    tears.............something about this voyage......

  57. S.... M....

    Beyonce is the Sun

  58. L.... C....

    I'm so proud of Solange I love this whole CD. You will not be disappointed.

  59. J.... S....

  60. G.... D....

    this is really like really my shit tho like I can't stop playing it even if I tried yasssssss this album is still the shit can we get that fubu video !!!✊✊✊✊✊✊CULTURE

  61. C.... h....

    the song that gives life to the emotion of letting go.... Solo tugging at my heartstrings

    C.... h....

    Claire Jesseman I agree.

  62. A.... N....

    I love this whole album. Great work Solange!!

  63. S.... J....

    The lightness and breathe in her voice is accentuated by these songs. I loved Sol Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams but those songs seemed to require her to sing with a little more power than what she is comfortable witg

  64. n.... z....

    Feel in love with this song when she sang it live on Instagram. I ended up buying her album a day later!

  65. B.... L....

    Been on her since her very first record....her work only gets better each time

  66. d.... ....

    This whole album is a classic, best album I bought in so long

  67. x.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO GOOD

  68. V.... F....

    my joint

  69. J.... J....

    Beautiful song, been listening to this Queen for over a decade. I've decided and Tony were the first two songs ive heard. She's been amazing since day way great to see her finally get the accolades she deserves

    J.... J....

    Joe Joiner I almost hear our ancestors in background voices. It's like, artistically, she's channel their energy and singing what's in their hearts. I love this song man.

  70. N.... D....

    Hands down ALBUM Of The YEAR! Solange sends a strong and more over CONSISTANT message (which empowers us to stand up for ourselves body, mind and spirit) enveloped in sonic and artistic AUTHENTICITY. 💯❤❤❤

  71. A.... H....

    Gosh I love this song is so soothing. This is really giving me chill vibes.

  72. A.... A....

    This is a straight Sade beat. I like that.

  73. M.... H....

    underated albums: k Michelle-AWBAH
    Jasmine Sullivan- Reality tv
    and now solange Knowles- a seat at the table
    (in my opinion) all are albums you can listen to ALL the way through and understand every meaning of each song.

  74. T.... ....

    This the type of video where u can look into the comments and not see one white person.

  75. d.... w....

    You killing it Solange

  76. B.... B....

    solange + blood orange gotta do some shit together 👌🏼

  77. P.... M....

    Why is she not all over the airways, at least in St. Louis...so much hate and shade. There is more than enough room for both Knowles ladies!!!!! so mad all people here have is self exploration of music to find such vocal beauty.

  78. N.... W....

    Inspiring ...

  79. D.... B....

    I jam to this just about every day! 😍

  80. C.... D....

    💓💓💓💓

  81. C.... M....

    Straight fire!

  82. C.... M....

    Yessss!!$

  83. B.... S....

    Please help. i can't stop playing this song 💜💜💜

  84. H.... W....

    This album is incredible for record people don't music anymore. Takes up data on phone. Lol but we can stream the shit out her album or go see her at a show.

  85. T.... M....

    One of the best songs from Real Urban R&B in 10 years. Solange deserves a lot of acclaim and awards. I pray she gets her due.

  86. e.... c....

    this is the best song rite now

  87. s.... a....

    i love the guitar in the refrain. one of the many small fragments from the album that are so colorful.

  88. J.... S....

    "Now, I don't want to bite the hand that'll show me the other side, no
    But I didn't want to build the land that has fed you your whole life, no
    Don't you find it funny?"

  89. R.... D....

    Molokoesque... Dope.

  90. V.... _....

    Only song this year that made me tear up a bit.

  91. M.... M....

    I hear Aaliyah when I hear Soulange......Tweets character was definitely a reflection of Aaliyah. ....

  92. G.... D....

    Y'all can't hear how perfect this album is ...y'all just cant

    G.... D....

    George D.E Johnson yes yes yes I do I do

  93. M.... ....

    This whole album is like an audible version of an art gallery. Like all I can do is sit back and watch in awe.

  94. K.... A....

    dear Piaget
    please have a music video for this song and add Kelly Rowland to this

  95. L.... E....

    Solange my dear, I believe it's official-- you have made a classic album...my ears are in heaven from beginning to the end of the entire album 😍😍😍

  96. S.... B....

    This has almost snuck and become my favorite on a remarkable album. Listen to this album with a good sound system, you're shorting yourself otherwise.
    Oh yeah, this gives me the feel of early Amel Larrieux.

  97. d.... ....

    Um Um Um YES

  98. S.... A....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  99. a.... ....

    I love how people are able to distinguish her influences on this album. I'm looking up the artists she's influenced by and they sound really dope!

  100. P.... M....

    that piano........
