| You say you want a man | |

| Well, If the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck | |
| You know I'd swim to the bottom | |

| Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea | |
| Knows you mean the world to me | |
| Tell me how long do I have to wait? | |
| Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate? | |
| Well, the hesitation stalker's got them hesitation shoes | |
| You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues | |

| Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate? |
