WHEN (for)

1 I wanted to be clean when I saw you
2 I wanted the house the be clean for when she got here.

Is this how you say these?
  • I can't do anything for you/I can't help you. (Is the first one something you'd say?)
  • You're better off being alone than with someone you don't like.
  • Whenever you want. (said when you've been waiting for the elevator for 5 minutes, is that something you'd say?)
Thank you
