Worth the Wait

Intro

Ooooh… yeah…

Shakeem…

Said you were worth it… yeah…

Verse

Met you in the hallway, just another day

You had that smile, I just walked away

You said, “baby, give me just one chance”

I said, “not today” to your romance

But you kept on showing up, didn’t push too hard

Patient with my heart, even through my guard

Didn’t know back then what love would create

Now I thank you, Shakeem, for every time you stayed

Pre-chorus

You never walked away from me

Even when I couldn’t see

That you were everything I need

Chorus

Now look at us, four years strong

Me and you, Shakeem, right where we belong

From “no, not now” to “don’t let go”

You’re the love I didn’t know

Through every high and every weight

Baby, you were worth the wait

Verse

When I said yes, you pulled me close

And in that moment, I knew the most

Every laugh, every tear we shared

You showed me just how much you cared

Santorini nights, under painted skies

Blue and white reflecting in your eyes

But every morning made me smile

You just wanted breakfast all the while

Pre-chorus

Simple man with a heart so true

Shakeem, there’s no one else like you

And you made my whole world new

Chorus

Now look at us, four years strong

Me and you, Shakeem, right where we belong

From “no, not now” to “don’t let go”

You’re the love I didn’t know

Through every high and every weight

Baby, you were worth the wait

Bridge

I see you working hard every day

Giving everything in every way

And the way you love my children too

That’s when I knew my heart was you

Shakeem, you don’t just say it, you prove it’s true

Chorus

Now look at us, still standing tall

Through every rise and fall

From chasing me to holding me tight

You turned my dark into light

And every year just feels so right

Baby, you’re my life, Shakeem…

Outro

Worth the wait…

You were worth the wait…

Forever and always…

Shakeem… my love… my way…
