Me Want It (But Me Wait)



Me Want It (But Me Wait) is a Sesame Street song by Cookie Monster about how he (for reasons unknown) is waiting to eat cookies despite wanting them.

Lyrics

Me get this feeling when me see a cookie on a plate.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it.

Oh, me no can wait!

But know me know that self-control is something me must learn.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me get a feeling when the chocolate chip be on the dish.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it, that me only wish.

But know me know that self-control is something me must try.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

When me lose control, when me on the brink, need to just calm down, me need to stop and think.

Me need control me self.

Yeah, that's the way to live.

And then me functioning like an executive.

Me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me get this feeling when the box of cookies on the shelf.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it, can't control me self!

But now me know that self-control is something me must do.

Me want to grab it, want to eat it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

When me lose control, when me have no doubt, me have strategies that can calm me down.

Me can talk to self. Me can stand up straight. Me can take deep breath. Me can self-regulate.

Me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me want it, but me wait!

Me wait, but me wait!
