You hear the end of your sleep
Ringing from out of the deep
Thoughts that you’re thinking
It’s time for you to get up
And make yourself a cup
of whatever she’s drinking
What are you waiting for
The girl was so discrete
She had a technique
That you could not ignore
A chance meeting like you hope
She asks you for a smoke
But you’re no provocateur
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?
Before the feeling explodes
You need to write her a note
Stop hesitating
She opens the envelope
And wonders why you moved so slow
It's so frustrating
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?
