Backing Up

It was Saturday night and we were going out to dance
I was ready to roll, but my baby didn't give me a chance
She was still in curlers at a quarter to eight
She knows how much I hate to be late
I said, "You might be surprised when you look up
I might be here and I might not
'Cause if you're waitin' on me, you're backing up."

Listen to me, baby, 'cause you know that I'm no fool
At least when it comes to waiting around on you
You're driving me crazy getting ready to go
I was ready two hours ago
Now don't look back and don't look up
I might be here and I might not
'Cause if you're waitin' on me, you're backing up

We don't need a stopwatch
We don't need to know
I'm gonna stop watching
'Cause I'm ready to go

You know, I love you, woman, but there's one thing I gotta say
The last thing we need is another one of your delays
Come rain or shine I'm waiting on you
Come to think about it, waiting is all I do
I got a jalapeno sweat and I'm ready to jump
If you don't get movin' you'll be outta luck
'Cause if you're waitin' on me, you're backing up

We don't need a stopwatch
We don't need a clock
I'm gonna stop watching
Now I'm ready to rock, ready to rock

Come Sunday morning and you're talking 'bout going to church
But you lost an earring and now you're starting to search
I'm standing here in my Sunday best
You ain't even started to get dressed
Too late for heaven, Lord, your time is up
I might see you there and I might not
'Cause if you're waitin' on me, you're backing up
Yes, if you're waitin' on me, you're backing up
