[Intro: funky clean guitar, Rhodes stabs, thick bass pickup, drums snap into pocket] Mmm Not yet Whatever it is Not yet [Verse 1: smoky conversational vocal, relaxed behind the beat phrasing] Coffee's hot I'm still in my socks Laundry's been sitting there since yesterday Phone keeps buzzing on the counter I can hear it I just don't care what it has to say Luther took the good spot in the shade You ask me what we're doing today (Doing?) I look around like I'm thinking it over Take another sip Not a damn thing [Pre Chorus: bass gets busier, handclaps enter, vocal starts showing more strength] Everybody wants something Everything's somehow urgent Funny how most of it Isn't [Chorus: groove opens wide, stacked female harmonies, stronger chest voice] It can wait (Let it wait) Whatever it is It can wait I got coffee in my cup And nowhere I need to be You got that look that says Don't start doing things It can wait They'll still want it tomorrow anyway Right now I'm pretty damn good Right here So it can wait [Verse 2: playful phrasing, funky guitar answers, confident vocal ad libs] You ask if I want another cup I hold mine up Like that's even a question (Mm hmm) You say we could go somewhere I say we could Then neither one of us gets up There's a list stuck to the refrigerator Half of it should've been done last week I walk past it on my way for more coffee Look at that Still there [Pre Chorus: Hammond rises, backing singers begin answering] Everybody's in a hurry Like there's something they might miss I'm starting to think They're missing this [Chorus: bigger vocal, brass punches, stronger backing vocals] It can wait (Let it wait) Whatever it is It can wait I got coffee in my cup And nowhere I need to be You got that look that says Don't start doing things (Don't do it) It can wait They'll still want it tomorrow anyway Right now I'm pretty damn good Right here So it can wait [Bridge: band drops to bass, Rhodes and claps, lead vocal close and playful] Maybe we'll get dressed Maybe we won't Maybe we'll make it past the front porch Probably don't You laugh and ask What happened to being productive Baby I am I'm protecting my day [Brief pause] Mmm Very important work [Break: lead voice begins alone, restrained smoky grit] It can wait (Backing vocals: Let it wait) [Drums and bass slam back into groove] It can wait! (Backing vocals: LET IT WAIT!) [Final Chorus: full band, lead finally releases more vocal power, gritty chest voice and soulful runs] IT CAN WAAAAAIT! Whatever it is It can wait I got coffee in my cup And nowhere I need to be You got that look that says Don't start doing things (Backing vocals: DON'T DO IT!) It can wait They'll still want it tomorrow anyway [Lead pushes harder, backing singers answer] RIGHT NOOOOOW! (Backing vocals: RIGHT NOW!) I'm pretty damn good (Backing vocals: DAMN GOOD!) Right here (RIGHT HERE!) [Brief band stop, exposed lead vocal] SO IT CAN WAAAAAAAIT! [Full band crashes back, lead ad libs freely over stacked female harmonies] It can wait! (LET IT WAIT!) Oh, it can wait! (LET IT WAIT!) Whatever it is! (LET IT WAIT!) [Lead hits one final huge raspy sustained belt] IT CAN WAAAAAAAIT! [Outro: instruments drop rapidly back into relaxed funky pocket, Michele immediately returns to conversational voice] Phone's still buzzing Let it Laundry's still there Yep You gonna find something for dinner? Mmm Eventually
