(Swing Out Sister)

I've spent too much time

Waiting for you in vain

I can't hear your voice

Although I call your name

I can't go on but I still hang on just the same

I've spent endless nights

Crying you name out loud

But still remain

Alone in an empty crowd

As time goes on I realize you'll never change

I say a prayer

I count the hours

I hear a voice but it's not yours

I count the score

I can't go on playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind

I'll be there just call my name

Until then I'll be playing the waiting game

I've waited too long

Wishing my life away

Convincing myself

Tomorrow you'd change your ways

I can't go on but I still hang on just the same

I say a prayer

I count the hours

I hear a voice but it's not yours

I count the score

I can't go on playing the waiting game

All you left me with emptiness

Now everyday seems the same

You've gone but I'm still playing the waiting

game

If you should ever change your mind

I'll be there just call my name

Until then I'll be playing the waiting game

I've waited too long for you to change your ways

Playing the waiting game

All you left me with emptiness

Now everyday seems the same

You've gone but I'm still playing the waiting

game

If you should ever change your mind

I'll be there just call my name

Until then I'll be playing the waiting game
