Lyrics

I’ve been dressed since quarter to eight
Shoes on, purse in hand — feelin’ great
But here I am standin’ by the door
While he’s tryin’ on outfit number four

Mirror checkin’ with his fancy strut
Gotta match the chain with the clean-cut cut
I love that man, but Lord above
He takes longer than me — and I’m wearin’ gloves

[Chorus]
Waitin’ on Terry, lookin’ so fine
Skin like espresso, suit that shines
I’m pale as milk in a lilac dress
He’s cocoa smooth and always fresh
People stare when we walk in
But they don’t know the prep it’s been
Still I smile, ‘cause I’m feelin’ blessed
Even if I’m always… waitin’ on Terry, yes

[Verse 2]
He says, “Max, beauty takes time, you see”
But baby, we’re just goin’ to Applebee’s
He lines his beard like it’s a masterpiece
And I’m sittin’ on the couch, beggin’ “Can we leave?”

He’s got swagger, I’ve got sass
We’re black and white, but we got class
He takes the cake, and I bring the spoon
He makes us late, but he steals the room

[Chorus]
Waitin’ on Terry, always a show
He’s got style from head to toe
I’m just tryna make that 7:30
But I gotta admit — he’s worth the hurry
Yeah, I’m snow, he’s midnight velvet
But together, baby, we just melt it
So I tap my watch and shake my head
Still waitin’ on Terry — enough’s been said

[Bridge – jazzy breakdown]
Lip gloss poppin’, heels go click
He’s still pickin’ ties like, “Do I want brick?”
I roll my eyes, but I can’t resist
When he flashes that smile, I forget the list

[Final Chorus]
Waitin’ on Terry, like always, babe
But he steps out fresh like a shiny parade
I’m white as lace, he’s bold as flame
And every time, I take his name
Let ‘em whisper, let ‘em stare
We’ve got that “forever” flair
So I wait — with love, no shame
For Terry, the king of the fashion game

[Outro]
So if I’m late, now you understand
My man’s too fly for a five-minute plan
He may take time, but here’s the key —
There’s no one else I’d wait for but he
