About I Can't Wait

"I Can't Wait" is a song recorded by American group Nu Shooz from the 1986 album Poolside. The song was originally recorded in late 1984 and was featured on the band's second album Tha's Right the following year. Credits on the back of the single indicate that the Poolside LP was originally to be called "The Point of No Return." The song was remixed by the Dutch DJ and producer Peter Slaghuis. This remixed version is the one that appears on Poolside. In the United States, the song reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in late March 1986, remaining atop the chart for two weeks. Soon afterwards, the song appeared on the Hot 100 chart, where it climbed to No. 3 in mid-June of that year, and remained in the top 40 for 15 weeks and it reached #2 on the R&B/Soul singles chart. In the United Kingdom, the song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. The single returned to the U. S. charts in 2015, where it peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart. The song's American chart run coincided with that of a Stevie Nicks song also titled "I Can't Wait".

(Baby, can't wait)
My love, tell me what it's all about
You've go something that I can't live without
Happiness, is so hard to find
Hey baby, tell me what is on your mind

'Cause I can't wait (baby I can't wait) till you call me on the telephone
I can't wait (baby I can't wait) till we're all alone

I can't wait

You know I love you even when you don't try
I know that our love will never die
Hey darling when you look into my eye
Please tell me you'll never have to say goodbye

'Cause I can't wait (baby I can't wait) this is what I've been waiting for
I can't wait (baby I can't wait) till my love walked in the door
I can't wait (baby I can't wait) true love is so hard to find
I found yours, you found mine
I can't wait (baby I can't wait) tell me what is on your mind
(I can't wait)
(I can't wait)
