Wait Your Turn Lyrics
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
I pitch with a grenade
Swing away
If you're feeling brave
There's no time out in my game
There's so much power
In my name
If you pop off and you say it
Steady I'm gon do the wave
I'm gonna do the wave
I'm such a
Such a lady
You don't have to be
So afraid
Cause I got room
Up on my team
You can play
But hold up
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
It's getting crowded
Over here
But babe
The wait is ova
Sometimes it takes
A thousand tries
To win
The wait is ova
Fumble
Don't you fumble
That's a flag on the play
Babe if you don't wanna
Then you don't have to wait
But together
We gon' be taking over
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
So you don't wanna wait
I hate to hear
That's such a shame
Cause if you playing tight wears
And no diamond in my ears
Then you already underway
I know you want to win
And you wish
I would let you in
Get in line over here
You can play
But hold up
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
It's getting crowded
Over here
But babe
The wait is ova
Sometimes it takes
A thousand tries
To win
The wait is ova
Fumble
Don't you fumble
That's a flag on the play
Babe if you don't wanna
Then you don't have to wait
But together
We gon' be taking over
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
Baby put the work in
Like a champion
But the crowd is screaming
With their hands way up
Couldn't be with no one else
You're the only way
I win
Baby got the whole world
Standing up
Damn I'm glad I picked ya
Took a chance on love
Baby love
The time is now
And now
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
(just wait your turn)
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
The wait is ova
(just wait your turn)
It's getting crowded
Over here
But babe
The wait is ova
Sometimes it takes
A thousand tries
To win
The wait is ova
Fumble
Don't you fumble
That's a flag on the play
Babe if you don't wanna
Then you don't have to wait
But together
We gon' be taking over
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
Just wait your turn

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The songmeaning of this is that she is pretty much telling the person that there is alot of guys that surrounds her and if he really wants to be with her he will wait until its his turn. when she says "fumble, dont you fumble, thats a flag on the play", when you fumble a football thats a loss of yards, so shes saying that when he finnaly gets his turn to talk to her he better know how to talk to her because if he doesnt and fumble on his words he will just need to wait on another opportunity to get her, "sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win" she just waiting on that right guy that uses the right words and is confident and patient.
The lyrics look mixed up in the first verse, I swear it's 'I pitch with a grenade/Swing away if you're feeling brave' and then in the second verse it's 'Cos if you play it sideways/Ain't no time out in my game' - I never thought it was about a guy, I thought it was about her successes etc, she's puffed up in her first verse ie pitching with a grenade shows her danger, and you should be 'feeling brave' if you want to challenge her. It's talking about her power. Even in the bridge when she talks about someone she loves, she says 'You're the only way I'll win' I don't think it's solely about someone that she's 'chosen' I think it's about her and this mystery person taking on something that requires her to be powerful.
The only problem I have with this song is the fumble part. "fumble, don't you fumble, that's a flag on the play." A fumble doesn't cause a flag to be thrown, the line doesn't make sense. Also, I think in the unedited version she says "I'm such a fucking lady" because on her twitter it says "I'm such a lady". Dunno why it would have a there if it didn't mean something other than a cuss word.
This is Rihanna's game, and her rules...you fumble and your flagged!
One change to the lyrics. It should read "I'm such a fuckin lady"
These are the lyrics to the Clean/Video Version of the song so they are not incorrect.

The whole song doesn't make sense.
I heard that it's about her telling guys to wait for their turn to be with her. If it's supposedly about her telling guys to wait in line with the rest for their turn to be with her, why is she saying they will be taking over? What are they gonna take over and for what reason?
one of my fav songs on the album..i don't know if its strictly about all guys having to wait to finally get with her though...
i think its that she was telling a guy to wait his turn cause she had so many guys who liked her but finally she decided to give him a try after turning him over so many times and realise he was the love of her life. good beat but the lyrics are meh.
there is no guy..
the eye, in church, babe if you don't wanna Then you don't have to wait [But together] We gon' be taking over..
