The Waiting Game

I'm gonna miss your sweet caress

I've got to be some other place

I hate to leave you under stress

I need some help to pack my case

This world is all a stage

We got different roles to play

Every day's another page

Every night I hope and pray

That you'll always feel the same

We play the waiting game

How bittersweet to say goodbye

Who knows what lies around the bend?

There's so much danger on the road

I would be foolish to pretend

That sometimes I'm not afraid

When I hear that wild alarm

Racing through this mad parade

All the world is up in arms

It's a downright dirty shame

It's just the waiting game

It's the waiting game

It's the waiting game

It's just the waiting game

This world is all a stage

We got different roles to play

Every day's another page

Every night I hope and pray

That you'll always feel the same

We play the waiting game

Oh yes, this world is all a stage

We got different roles to play

Every day's another page

Every night I hope and pray

That you'll always feel the same

We're playing the waiting game

(Ooh, wait)

Please, darling won't you wait

(Ooh, wait)

Please, I'm coming back

(Ooh, wait)

Please, darling, won't you wait for my

(Ooh, wait)

Please, darling, won't you wait for my love

(Ooh, wait)
