Don’t Keep Me Waiting Lyrics
Will you turn me up?
Yeah
[Verse 1]
This is the making of another cold, rude awakening
It's been too long anticipating
Hurry up for my demonstration
So give undivided attention
[Pre-Chorus]
Okay, light speed, turbo, to get to me
Don't play, joke around, one shot
You're killing me
[Chorus]
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting
My body's waiting
Don't keep me waiting
[Post-Chorus]
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
The time is ticking
The train is boarding, you might miss it
Follow directions, damn it, listen
Before my body's in remission
So, come to your destination
[Pre-Chorus]
Okay, light speed, turbo, to get to me
Don't play, joke around, one shot
You're killing me
[Chorus]
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting
My body's waiting
Don't keep me waiting
[Post-Chorus]
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
What the hell?
I'm standing, what the hell?
Standing outside, I'm standing outside
What the hell? I'm standing outside
Colder than the freezer
Come out, and melt my ice
I'm running out of time
You're changing my demeanor
So get me to your ride, before I change my mind
Don't apologize
[Chorus]
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
My body's waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
My body's waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Don't keep me waiting (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me
I'm going crazy, got me waiting
Come, and take it from me

I brought in Travis Barker, and it’s got this rock feel, which is out of the box, out of my norm. I think it’s out of her [Spears'] norm as well. We had a great time making this record.
