  • I can't wait, I love you

    I can't wait, I can't wait

    Sometime she talks to him
    Sometimes when she's only dreaming
    Then when she wakes up
    Somehow she still believes him

    Yes, I know you
    Tho we've been out of touch
    Yes, I know you
    To be continued, it's too much baby

    I can't wait, I can't wait
    Well, if I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind
    Well, I can't wait, I can't wait
    And I've got to know when I can see you again, well
    I can't wait, I can't wait
    Yes, I know you
    Tho we've been out of touch
    I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
    What can I do when I'm crazy for you

    She wonders how many more hours
    Her heart will feel broken
    In secret she says she needs to see him
    But no words are spoken

    Well, she dances around in a circle
    Well, she's got that feeling now
    Blame it on something at first sight
    Put the blame on me, if you want to
    To be continued

    I can't wait, I can't wait
    If I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind, baby
    I can't wait I can't wait
    And I got to know when I can see you again, now
    I can't wait I can't wait (I can't wait)
    What can I do when I'm crazy for you, baby
    I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
    You know, I'm waiting you, darling, I'm waiting you, darling

    I can't wait, I can't wait
    If I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind, baby
    I can't wait, I can't wait
    And I've got to know when I can see you again, well
    I can't wait, I can't wait, now
    No, no, time will, make up your mind, baby
    I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait) Writer/s: ERIC NELSON PRESSLY, RICK W JR NOWELS, STEVIE NICKS

  • Andrew from VirginiaI remember the comments on Letterman, I did a search and found this, well worth a view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abH6X_8ltEM
  • Pat from St. Paul, MnDavid Letterman used to play the video for the song on his show back when the song was a hit. Paul Shafer would ask Dave, "What did you do this weekend?" and Dave would say, "I just hung around the house, waiting for the new Stevie Nicks video to come on MTV," and then they'd show the video. Even Stevie mentions the Letterman connection on her commentary on the "Crystal Visions" DVD that contains the video. By the way, I think this was one of Stevie's best high-energy vocal performances.
  • Joshua from Twin Cities, MnThis song is not to be confused with a completely different song called "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz, whose U.S. Top 40 run overlapped that of the Stevie Nicks song by four weeks in 1986. (The Nu Shooz song was actually the bigger hit, reaching #3; Nicks's song reached #16.)
