[Refrain: Nayeon, Jihyo]
Tell me what you waiting for?
It's taking you too long
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Just know you're not alone
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Verse 1: Mina, Jeongyeon, Dahyun]
Oh, how can I shake this feeling?
Oh I
I even forgot about sleeping
Oh my
So much possibility
Makin' all the memories
You better believe that you're worth it (You'll see)
[Verse 2: Sana, Tzuyu, Momo, Dahyun]
When you think nothing's alright
If you cannot find the go sign
Don't be afraid
You know you are where you're meant to be
One more time, close your eyes
And then count one, two, three, four, five
Within the darkness, you can see the starlight
[Refrain: Nayeon, Jihyo]
Tell me what you waiting for?
It's taking you too long
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Just know you're not alone
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Chorus: Tzuyu, Sana]
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Verse 3: Chaeyoung, Dahyun, Mina]
Tell you what, you're not just a pretty girl
Hey, show them what you're really all made of, girl
Loving your energy, feeling the synergy
Hey, don't you worry and lean on me
Look up at the sky, now the clouds are out of sight
Why don't you place your hand in mine?
(What you waiting for?)
So come on and trust me
[Refrain: Nayeon, Jihyo]
Tell me what you waiting for?
It's taking you too long
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Just know you're not alone
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Chorus: Chaeyoung, Momo]
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Post-Chorus: Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung, Nayeon]
Let me say
La-la-la-love ya
'Cause I love ya
La-la-la-love ya
'Cause I love ya
What you waiting for?
La-la-la-love ya
'Cause I love ya
What you waiting for?
Yeah, I love ya
What you waiting for?
Like I love ya
[Bridge: Sana, Jihyo]
What are you waiting?
Come on, let's go
Yeah, I'll be right next to you
'Cause I love you just the way you are
Really mean it when I say it
When I say it (What you waiting for?)
[Chorus: Tzuyu, Momo, Jihyo]
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for? (Oh)
What you waiting for? (What you waiting for? Alright)
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for? (What you waiting for?)
[Post-Chorus: Jeongyeon, Dahyun, Nayeon, Jihyo]
Let me say
La-la-la-love ya
'Cause I love ya ('Cause I love you)
La-la-la-love ya
'Cause I love ya (Oh, 'cause I love you)
What you waiting for?
La-la-la-love ya (Oh yeah, yeah, I love you)
