What Am I Waiting For

It's six minuetes till eleven
The phone rings but it's never you
I won't walk the floor I'll just watch it
Stood up and patient and blue
What am I waiting for
She may never show
What am I waiting for
My legs won't let me go
What am I waiting for what am I waiting for
She'll never get here
It's not that I'm worried about her
She'll think up some brand new excuse
So why am I all alone going cray
While she's having fun running loose
SOLO
It's six minutes after eleven
But I'm talking about the next day
Our date was just made to be broken
I guess some things will just never change
What am I waiting for
She may never show
What am I waiting for
My legs won't let me go
What am I waiting for what am I waiting for
She'll never get here
