Waiting Lyrics

No matter what I do
I always wait for you
So I guess that’s, that’s what I gotta do

It’s seems I’m spending so much time waiting
And when you can’t make up your mind I’m waiting for you
If that’s what it requires, then waiting’s what I’ll do
So hurry yourself up, I’m waiting

Just hang up that phone
You already know on your own
What you need to do what you got to do
Feels like I’m losing my mind
You know that I’ll deal just fine

Chorus

I know you’re thinking my love’s a gamble
And you’re not sure that you’re gonna win now babe
Take your money and double your bet
And see what happens watch out
And takin’ my love down to your pawn shop
Tell me baby what should I get
A wedding ring and a boom box
Boom box, boom box, boom box, ow
And what else can I say?
It will do no good anyway
As long as you know that
I’ll keep waiting

Chorus

And what else can I say?
It will do no good anyway
As long as you know that
I’ll keep waiting

For you I’d wait forever
Because I know that one day we’ll be together
Maybe it’s because you know I’ll wait (you know I’ll wait)
I’m still waiting

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
