[Verse 1]
I told you once
That I was waiting for the night that we could step again
Sweet tangerine
You know I love you like the summertime, yeah
Truth be told
If I looked up to the stars and made a wish
I know it couldn't be sweeter than this
My sweet, sweet joy
[Chorus]
I just can't wait (Ooh, I just can't wait)
I just can't wait (I just can't wait)
I just can't wait (Ooh, I, ooh)
I just can't wait (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
'Cause you know I want you by my side, yeah
I hope you're right, I hope you're right
Baby, I know
[Chorus]
I just can't wait (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I just can't wait
I, I, I, I (Just can't wait, hey)
I just can't wait ('Cause you know I want you by my side)
I just can't wait (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I, I, I, I
[Chorus]
I just can't wait
I just can't wait (Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, yeah)
I just can't wait (Ah)
I just can't wait (Yeah)

Sheila Maurice-Grey;
It’s a song with a congregational feeling for the steppers. One that people can listen to on a Saturday or Sunday morning and feel uplifted. A big reference for the track were the horn melodies from Tom Browne’s ‘Funkin’ for Jamaica (N.Y.)’.
