Waiting Game Lyrics By 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
    unitl then i’ll be playing the waiting game
