[Verse 1]
I been holding on for eternity
Waiting on your love
I let you lead me on so perfectly
Well, I think I've had enough

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm tired of dancing around it
I'm not wired that way
I'm getting fired up thinking about it
I gotta be honest

[Chorus]
I ain't never been a patient girl, baby, I ain't built like this
The way you're taking your time's got me jumping ship
And I won't lie, let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I ain't no patient girl

[Verse 2]
Well, baby, I'm allowed to want an answer now
Wouldn't you say that's fair?
Can you help me out 'cause I'm breaking down
Or do you even care that?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm losing my mind every minute
Don't you do me like that
Don't you know you're pushing my heart to a limit
Won't you listen?

[Chorus]
I ain't never been a patient girl, baby, I ain't built like this
The way you're taking your time has got me jumping ship
And I won't lie, let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I ain't no patient girl

[Bridge]
And I won't spend the rest of my life
Hoping for a sign
You can't just leave me
Out to dry

[Chorus]
Oh, I ain't built like this
The way you're taking your time has got me jumping ship
And I won't lie, let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish
Oh, I ain't built like this
The way you're taking your time has got me jumping ship
And I won't lie, let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

[Outro]
I ain't no patient girl (whoa)
I ain't no patient girl (whoa)
I ain't no patient girl (whoa)
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish
