Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

The Wait

Said the wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it

The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts

The wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts

The wait child, a neon light, late night lights hurt

Oh gonna hurt some child, child

Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby

Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride slapped child hurts

The wait child, crest felled child, tear eyed child hurts

The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts

The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts

Oh gonna hurt some child, child

Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby

I said child, child staring into the street light

And messed up child, lonely boy tonight

Kick the wall, turn the street and back again

Oh boy you've been forgotten

Child, child staring into the street light

And messed up child, lonely boy tonight

Kick the wall, turn the street and back again

Oh boy you've been forgotten

Said the wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts

The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts

The wait child, pool hall child, pin table now hurts

The wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it

Oh gonna hurt some child, child, child, child, child

Gonna hurt some, whoa my baby
