Lyrics
Waiting for you by Woody
Expressing anticipation and longing for someone special.
Yeah, Oh!
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or emphasis.
Did I say waiting for you?
Reiterating the theme of waiting for someone.
Did I?
Rhetorical question emphasizing the waiting aspect.
Really? Oh yeah, that I'm waiting for you!
Confirming and emphasizing the anticipation of waiting for the person.
I never knew my type until I'd gone and met you
Reflecting on discovering one's romantic preferences after meeting the person.
But it's such a pity that you never felt like I do
Expressing disappointment that the other person doesn't reciprocate feelings.
Always read my texts, but you never text back
Noticing that the person reads messages but doesn't respond.
I say that it's ok, but you know I don't mean that
Acknowledging a sense of understanding, even though the speaker is not truly okay with it.
Don't ever try to call me even when I know you've nothing to do
Advising not to call, even when the person is free, possibly to avoid disappointment.
Keeping all this loving to myself has got me feeling real blue
Keeping emotions to oneself is causing sadness or loneliness.
Yeah, I'm waiting for you
Reiterating the central theme of waiting for the person.
I see you out in town and you say you're really happy
Observing the person appearing happy in public despite past encounters.
But last time that I saw you, you were huffing from a baggie
Recalling a less favorable memory of the person using substances.
You tell me you've a man and that you're sorry that you kept me waiting
Person admitting to having a partner and apologizing for the wait.
But it doesn't matter because I'm really, really, Woo, Patient!
Despite challenges, the speaker remains patient and waits eagerly.
And I'm still waiting for you
Reaffirming the continued waiting for the person.
I'm still waiting for you
Repeating the theme of waiting for the person.
You've got me waiting for you
Highlighting the impact of waiting on the speaker's emotions.
Never knew my type until I'd gone and met you
Recapitulating the realization of the speaker's romantic preferences.
But it's such a pity that you never felt like I do
Reiterating the disappointment of unreciprocated feelings.
I'm waiting for you (Never knew my type until I'd gone and met you)
Repeating the waiting theme and the realization of romantic preferences.
I'm still waiting for you
Continuing to wait for the person.
I'm waiting for you (But it's such a pity that you never felt like I do)
Repeating the waiting theme and expressing the disappointment again.
I'm still waiting for you
Persisting in waiting for the person.
I'm waiting for you
Repeating the central theme of waiting.
I'm waiting for you
Emphasizing the continued anticipation and waiting for the person.
I'm still waiting for you
Reiterating the prolonged wait for the person.
