Wait Lyrics by Wang Chung

Everybody Wang Chung Tonight: Wang Chung’s Greatest Hits

1984

[Verse 1]
Street corners seem designed to lie in wait
For a chance to get involved in lovers' fate
And this one seems as good as any I've seen
So wait here with me until six-fifteen

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
Wait

[Verse 2]
I see you approaching, you're the eyes of the crowd
The traffic and people, God, they're all so loud
But in a couple of moments, they will all disappear
Because we're ever so close when we're ever so near

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
Wait

[Bridge]
Punctuality
Was never much to me
Being yourself is the main thing
Forget about the time
Forget about the time
Being yourself is the main thing
The main thing
The main thing, love

[Refrain]
Forget about the time

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait

[Outro]
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
(I can hardly wait)
I can hardly wait
(I can hardly wait)
I can hardly wait
(I can hardly wait)
I can hardly wait
(I can hardly wait)
