I'm Still Waiting Lyrics

I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting for you
why oh why, why oh why?

I said my feet won't keep me up anymore
every little beat my heart beats, girl, it's at your door
I just wanna love you
and I'm never gonna hurt you, girl
oh, can't you see I'm under your spell
but I got to go, got to go

Why girl, oh why, girl?

Whoa, my gosh the rain is falling
and I just can't stop calling
and I just can't tell the raindrops from my teardrops
falling down my face
look at it
it isn't really raindrops

I'm still waiting
teardrops falling down my face
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting, yes I will

I wait in the rain, I wait in the sun
please relieve me from these pains, oh pains, just pains
I love you, yes I do
but tell me, do you really love me, too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is the most raw song I've ever heard so far. He sings it with such deep emotion you can feel it. Desperation.....longing.....needing....pain. I wish I could've seen him sing it.
