The Wait Lyrics

Said the wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it
The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts
The wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, a neon light, late night lights hurt

Oh gonna hurt some child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby

Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride slapped child hurts
The wait child, crest felled child, tear eyed child hurts
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts


Oh gonna hurt some child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby

I said child, child staring into the street light
And messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten

Child, child staring into the street light
And messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten


Said the wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, pool hall child, pin table now hurts
The wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it

Oh gonna hurt some child, child, child, child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby

Pretenders are a rock band who came to prominence during the punk and new wave movement of the late 1970s due to their innovative songwriting and charismatic performances. The original band consisted of group founder, songwriter, vocalist, and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde, lead and rhythm guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, bassist Pete Farndon, and drummer Martin Chambers. Save for Hynde, a native of Akron, Ohio, the original band members were all from the U.K. This band was fractured by drug-related deaths and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde as the sole constant. With Hynde at the helm, the band drifted through more adult contemporary-oriented territory, but experienced a critical resurgence with a trio of albums released between the mid-90s and early 00s that explored a more mature side of the band's classic sound.
