Lyrics

WAITING

It's been a long time comin',
Taken a lot of thought.
We've had good times, good lovin',
In the end, what has it brought?

You know my clock is ticking.
Something I can't control.
For sure, it's got me thinking,
Telling me it's time to go.

'Cause I've been WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING so long,
And I'm on my way-(ay-ay).
Tired of WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING too long,
And this'll be the day-(ay-ay)
I'm gone.

This couldn't last forever,
Wanted much more from you.
In all our time together,
You never followed through.

And I've been WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING so long,
Now I'm on my way-(ay-ay).
Tired of WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING too long,
And this'll be the day-(ay-ay)
I'm gone.

We put up with WAITING in our daily lives,
Expecting the package that never arrives.
Someone who's late
For a special date.
Airport delays,
Many other ways.
But this feels like facing a very big wall;
Yeah, it is the mother of them all.

I have been WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING too long.

(RAP or Spoken Word)
No doubt you and I have connected,
I'm sorry if you will think I defected,
But this is not what I expected;
I'm trying to get it all corrected.

'Cause I've been WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING so long.
Tired of WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING too long,
Yeah, I've been WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING so long.
Tired of WAITING, WAITING,
WAITING too long,
And today's the day-(ay-ay)
That I'll be gone.
I'm done and gone.
