Tired of Waiting for You Lyrics

[Chorus]
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

[Verse]
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody 'til I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time, what can I do?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

[Verse]
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody 'til I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time, what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

[Outro]
For you
For you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
