The Masterpiece Lyrics

I'm starin' at the clock, it's tickin' like a bomb

My patience runnin' thin, like an over-stretched trombone

She's fussin' with her eyeliner, tryin' to get it just right

But I swear, if we miss this movie, there's gonna be a fight

I'm beggin', "Honey, please, just a little less blush"

But she's blendin' away, like she's paintin' the Sistine hush

She says, "Babe, you know I gotta look good for the gram"

I'm like, "But we're already late, don't give a damn!"

Waitin' for my girl to finish her makeup, it takes forever

But I love her anyway, no matter how long it takes her

Waitin' for my girl, she's puttin' on her face

But in the end, she's the one who puts a smile on my face

She says, "I need a little powder, some blush on my cheeks"

I'm like, "Come on, girl, are you tryin' to make me weep?"

She's takin' her time with the mascara on her lashes (lash it on, girl)

And I'm just here, countin' down the minutes till we crash it.

I'm pleading, "Darlin', cut back on the blush, I implore"

But she's blending like an artist, adding layers galore

She says, "Babe, gotta slay for the gram, you understand"

I retort, "But we're late already, can't you lend a hand?

Waitin' for my girl to finish her makeup, it takes forever

But I love her anyway, no matter how long it takes her

Waitin' for my girl, she's puttin' on her face

But in the end, she's the one who puts a smile on my face

I try to be patient, I try to understand

But when she's got that lipstick out, it's like quicksand

I'm sinkin' deeper into a pit of despair

But when she's finally done, damn, she's beyond compare

So I'll wait by the door, checkin' my watch once more

'Cause when she steps out, she's worth all that and more

Waitin' for my girl, yeah, she's takin' her time

But she's the masterpiece, and I'm glad she's all mine!
