Lyric discussion by Hartyhar 

Cover art for The Wait lyrics by Pretenders, The

Probably my favorite Pretenders tune, at least the one that gets me the most wound up. The staccato lyrics are part of what put this song over the top for me - so frantic and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Took me a long time to even try to track down the lyrics, but I\'m glad I did. I respect Chrissie even more now.

@Hartyhar Yeah, I can remember years ago having my old Pretenders (I) cassette in my car stereo and then getting a speeding ticket... because how can you not drive at breakneck speed with this blaring out of your speakers??? "Huhhhhhhhhhhhh!"\r\n
