Love Don't Leave Me Waiting Lyrics

Love, you've been hesitating
You've been hanging on for that sign too long
And love, you've been leaving me waiting
And I don't know why or what it is I've done

And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh love, don't keep me in
Show yourself to me

And time, you've been erasing
You've been running out on me
And tongues, you've been a talking
You've been saying what you really mean

And love, don't leave me waiting
Oh love, don't leave me here
And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh love, don't keep me here
Show yourself show yourself

And love, don't leave me waiting
Oh love, don't keep me here
And love, don't leave me guessing
Oh love, don't keep me here
Show yourself to me

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 song is about a few different things It's mostly about just sort of wanting to feel included in the thing that everybody else seems to be doing. And it's about the feeling of not wanting to sort of left behind when it comes to the good things in life. The John Maraton Song's illustrated the best when he says " Life Go Easy On Me, Love don't pass me by" and that's kind of the sentiment of the song. And it's about how you spend time with someone and you think you know them and then you realize you haven't met any of their family of friends after couple of years of being their lover and you kind of realize that maybe you're being hidden and it is kind of a tough realization, realize that you're the affair perhaps. Hard on the ego.

From When He Performed at the Shakespeare and Company Bookstore in Paris. I Just Typed Every Word.

This person doesn’t love him, he is being used. Sometimes things come around full circle and it’s a bitch
