From the recording Jukebox Deluxe, Volume 1
Lyrics
WAITING
Baby, are you still getting ready?
The band goes on at half past eight
I don’t want to get stuck in traffic, girl
Nothing burns me like being late
You tell me, “Just a minute, baby, my make-up’s almost on…”
But all I hear is blah, blah, blah
When we go out, you sing that same old song
Girl, I might as well go out and dig myself a grave
This waiting’s gonna kill me…
This waiting’s gonna kill me, babe
Waiting...waiting...
Since you ain’t close to ready
I’ll sit down and drink me a beer
Every hair has got to be just perfect, hun
Before we get the hell out of here
You tell me, “Just a minute, baby, my make-up’s almost on…”
But all I hear is blah, blah, blah
When we go out, you sing that same old song
Girl, I might as well go out and dig myself a grave
This waiting’s gonna kill me…
This waiting’s gonna kill me, babe
Waiting...waiting...
Baby, while you’re still getting ready
We’ll miss the first half of the show
I don’t care what you wear
Hit the lights...I’m ready to go
Baby, are you still getting ready?
The band goes on at half past eight
I’m getting set to blow a gasket, girl
Nothing burns me like being late
You tell me, “Just a minute, baby, my make-up’s almost on…”
But all I hear is blah, blah, blah
When we go out, you sing that same old song
Girl, I might as well go out and dig myself a grave
This waiting’s gonna kill me…
This waiting’s gonna kill me, babe…
This waiting’s gonna kill me, babe…
This waiting’s gonna kill me, babe...
Waiting...waiting…
