What You Waiting For? Lyrics
I cant believe that after reading all of these interpretations that nobody really knows what this song is about. Let me number them to express the meanings of the song clearly.
1.) this song is specifically about her doubts as a solo artist
2.) this song also mentions 'sex chromosome' meaning that for female artists, there time 'tick tock' is actually running out.
3.) She needed to make the album soon because her time was really running out as a 'hot female' and as an artist.
4.) Stupid ho represents her because thats what society sees her as( 'so messed up how our society all thinks' meaning that because she is a female she will always be seen as a ho.
5.) Also, I think that ho also represents her doubts about being a mother at 35 since her time is running out as a woman to bear children, she feels the pressure to be a hot artist but still be a mother to conform to society.
I agree with it all, except the "Ho" part. I mean, I see it just as her talking to herself - like maybe I would, by saying "come on, dumb*ss, what are you waiting for". Not because society sees her as a Ho, it's just kind of a term not to be taken literally.

this song is good, not her best but still good none the less. I think it's about her becoming a solo artist after 10 years with a band who is like family to her,
Naturally I'm worried if I do it alone... Who really cares cause it's your life... You never know it could be great...
i love this song. it's pretty obvious it's about mainstream artists who are too scared to try something new.
Wow. This song rocks, its so catchy. I cant wait to hear more of Gwen's album. And yes, this song is about artists that dont want to try something new.
I tend to like almost everything by No Doubt/Gwen Stefani..so of course I like this too. Its not as good as some of her other stuff though.. so is no doubt broken up or what? why is she making her own single?
the video is kind of cool it's this sort of alice in wonderland motif but i really thought her single would be better than this she is so much better with No Doubt she uses the same line from the song beauty contest " born to blossom, bloom to perish"
i love this song, and the is just one of the best i've seen ina while. If you watch the video you can tell some of these lyrics are wrong x.x.
"I know its so messed how our society, All think..."
i think this is a great first single for gwen! it captures her eccentric personality and style, not to mention the great video. i think this is about her doubts concerning stepping out alone and having the pressure of the music business, her record company, and basically everyone. she IS a "super hot female" and all eyes are on her and her anticipated solo debut. in the music business anything can destroy you, it all depends on what mood society's in.
actually these lyrics are INCORRECT, i can understand why cause they we're posted before the official release of her cd and video. If you watch the video you can see the lyrics. It's only like one or two lines, i was just stating it. But i have a screenshot. [it's not too clear but none the less] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/inmyhead1316/gwenwywf.jpg
i love the "take a chance, you stupid hooooe"
