Story Behind The Song

I heard this whole song in a dream, got up, grabbed an acoustic guitar and a small cassette boom-box and recorded rhythm guitar and vocals on the little cassette mic in the middle of the night. The dream was of our band rehearsing in our usual rented rehearsal room, playing this entire song. When I got up that night, I managed to record enough that when we went into production, I knew the whole song and taught it to the rest of the members.

Song Description

This high-energy 50?s style pop tune is just fun, fun fun. Male lead vocals are backed by a powerful vocal quartet singing bouncy harmonies. Saxophone and guitar solo in the middle make this song really take off!

I Can?t Wait

Verse 1
So many times I tried explaining just how I feel.
But, I know that inside your head it?s really no big deal.
It?s plain to see that what we had then wasn?t very strong
I should have listened to my friends; they all said it was wrong

Chorus 1
I can?t wait ?til I forget all about you!
I still have not accepted that you left me alone.
I start to dial your number when I pick up the phone.

Verse 2
I walk the streets and wonder how it lasted so long
I feel like I?ve been stepped on by Godzilla and King Kong
Deserted by a woman for no reason and no rhyme
How could she have led me on for such a length of time?

Chorus 2
I can?t wait ?til I forget all about you!
I don?t want to have this lousy feelin? no more
I sit around and wait for you to knock on my door!

SOLO

Verse 3
Well just the other night I was out with a girl
And of all the other joints you could have been in the world!
There you were, you sneered like you were jealous of me.
Now you told me you don?t love me, so why not let me be?!?!

Chorus 3
And I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
It?s not that I don?t love you, don?t gimme no slack
I?m gonna give my lovin? to someone who?ll give it back!

Repeat Chorus to End
And I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
It?s plain to see that what we had then wasn?t very strong
I should have listened to my friends; they all said it was wrong!

And I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
I still have not accepted that you left me alone.
I start to dial your number when I pick up the phone.

And I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
How could that witchy woman lead me on for so long?
I feel like I?ve been stepped on by Godzilla and King Kong

I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
I don?t want to have this lousy feelin? no more
I sit around and wait for you to knock on my door!
I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
There you were, you sneered like you were jealous of me.
Now you told me you don?t love me, so why not let me be?!?!

I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
It?s not that I don?t love you, don?t gimme no slack
I?m gonna give my lovin? to someone who?ll give it back, back, back, back!

I can?t wait, ?til I forget all about you!
