I’ve Been Waiting
[KENDRA]
This summer I was losing my mind
Trying to keep myself busy 'stead of thinking 'bout you
[BOYS]
Thinking 'bout you
[KENDRA]
No matter how I acted
I could never really get distracted
And the mystery in my mind that I can't dismiss
Is when I'm ever gonna get my first real kiss?
I spend every night and day
Just thinking about how I could get away
But I'm stuck in jail
I can't get free
'Cause there's my mother always watching me
I tried to do the stuff I love to do
But every song, every game, it's all the same
It just made me, made me
Ma-made mе wanna be with you!
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh
[KENDRA]
I've been waiting
[ENSEMBLE]
I've been waiting
[KENDRA]
I'vе been waiting all summer for you!
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh
[KENDRA]
I've been waiting
[ENSEMBLE]
I've been waiting
[KENDRA]
And I think that I'm ready now
[BRETT]
Same story, I was losing my mind
On the shores of Lake Wawasee 'stead of being with you
[GIRLS]
Being with you
[BRETT]
Sometimes when I couldn't write
I was beaming thoughts from my brain at night
From the mess hall, the canteen
From the lake, from the lodge
The latrine that I had to clean
Thinking, "All I really wanna do
Is to have my first real kiss with you
Where it's dark and quiet and romantic
Without your mom standing there getting frantic"
[BRETT & KENDRA]
And now I'm here beside you like a dream come true
Every minute, every day I was kept away
Only made me, made me
Ma-made me wanna be with you!
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
And I think that I'm ready now
[BRETT]
It made me, made me
Ma-made me wanna be with
It made me, made me
Ma-made me wanna be with
It made me, made me
Ma-made me wanna be with
[School bell rings.]
[ENSEMBLE]
You!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting all summer for you!
