"all I gotta do"

by Nikki Giovanni

all I gotta do
is sit and wait
sit and wait
and its gonna find
me
all I gotta do
is sit and wait
if I can learn how

what I need to do
is sit and wait
cause I'm a woman
sit and wait
cause I'm a woman
it'll find me

you get yours
and I'll get mine
if I learn
to sit and wait
you got yours
I want mine
and I'm gonna get it
cause I gotta get it
cause I need to get it
if I learn how

thought about calling
for it on the phone
asked for a delivery
but they didn't have it
thought about going
to the store to get it
walked to the corner
but they didn't have it

called your name
in my sleep
sitting and waiting
thought you would awake me
called you name
lying in bed
but you didn't have it
offered to go get it
but you didn't have it
so im sitting

all I know
is sitting and waiting
waiting and sitting
cause i'm a woman
all I know
is sitting and waiting
cause I gotta wait
wait for it to find
me
