What Are You Waiting For?(Video Version) Lyrics
[J-girl]
Gwen, ha suru no?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation, shut my eyes, can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a climber
Naturally I'm worried, if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
Oh, ah, oh
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Take a chance you stupid ho
Like an echo pedal you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Your moment has run out
Cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up
How our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable (uh huh)
Oh, ah, oh
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
I can't wait to go back and do Japan
Get me lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo
Your Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style
Go
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
(What you waiting for)
Take a chance you stupid ho
Take a chance you stupid ho
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
(What you waiting for)
Take a chance you stupid ho
Take a chance you stupid ho
Gwen, ha suru no?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
A scary conversation, shut my eyes, can't find the brake

Naturally I'm worried, if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
Oh, ah, oh
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Take a chance you stupid ho

i think this has gotta do with opportunities and if you don't take them then what are you gonna do, it's kinda offensive with Take a chance you stupid ho but i mean you gotta get the point across somehow
I think the ho part was her telling herself to take a chance. It's like when you insult yourself into doing something you're afraid of. Like during exams when you whisper "you're dumb...you totally know the answer" to yourself.
this song is her being schitzophrenic. she's talking to herself and telling herself to take a chance with her solo album. this song was written when she was trying to get inspired for the new album.
yup with everyone here. about how she has to do it alone and has to take the chance,(as well as she has to do what pleases her and not only what No Doubt says as a band) and at the same time speaking about how in hollywood you never know when your time is up (especially for woman) "Your moment has run out Cause of your sex chromosome " and then "look at your watch now, you're still a super hot female" reassures her of the fact that she may not have much time but if she hurries up she's still hot so she can at least do the solo project
