[Verse 1]
I couldn't fall asleep, sweating under the sheets on the third floor
Street sweeper, baby, passing by and I tell ya it's starting to roar
Now I could smell her sun kissed skin in the bed lying near me
You haven't tipped your hand yet, you're keeping your cards close to your chest
[Chorus]
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I got this twin bed and it's ours to share
(Oooh-ooh-ooh, oooh-ooh-ooh)
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
Lover, what's your next move?
[Verse 2]
I wasn't dreaming of any feelings of love when I met you
I could hardly come up with three hundred a month
But you loved my red rented room
Now even with the lights turned off we know this is so clear
I said "Baby girl put it on me"
She said "Boy, you're mine, indefinitely"
[Chorus]
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I got this twin bed and it's ours to share
(Oooh-ooh-ooh, oooh-ooh-ooh)
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
Lover, what's your next move?
[Bridge]
Give me a number, pick any colour, I can tell your fortune tonight
Give me a number, pick any colour, I can tell your fortune tonight
Convince me, with no words
Fix this busted lover
[Chorus]
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I got this twin bed and it's ours to share
(Oooh-ooh-ooh, oooh-ooh-ooh)
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
(Oooh-ooh-ooh) I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
Lover, what's your next move?
[Outro]
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair
I didn't plan for this but baby I'm not scared
I got this twin bed and it's ours to share
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
Lover, what's your next move?
