Details on 'Waiting Room'

Here is Waiting Room's lyrics. On the back of the CD it's marked as being 4m 27s long but my stereo has it at 4m 28s. It is NOT, as you can see, a loop of the chorus but a fully fledged song. So if you try to download it from Morpheus, Napster etc. there usually are two versions at both song lengths. Make sure when you commence a download you listen to the first few seconds before completing the download. It should not start with the chorus but a 30 second introduction and the 1st line below.

Gwen:

I signed in my name
I guess I'll have to wait a while
I wanna play this game
Call me up if you know how to dial

You always had my number
You need to be my lover
Humiliation...I'm in the Waiting Room

Gwen & Prince:

If we both want the love and I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you
I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
(I'm all alone) I'm all alone in the Waiting Room

Gwen & Prince

When you're burning solitude
It can get real thick
If desire is your only food
It can get you sick

Gwen:

You know your so fine (So fine)
I'm over here standing in this line
(Just awaiting) Just awaiting in the Waiting Room

Gwen & Prince:

If we both want the love and I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you
I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
(I'm all alone) I'm all alone in the Waiting Room

Gwen & Prince:

While I'm in the Waiting Room
A thousand thoughts I think of you
Whatever you did has got me glued
It's icky, it's sticky ooh
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Why does this feel like wasted time
What a price this travelling love? (travelling love)
You and me trapped between these lines
Ooh you're so mine

Gwen & Prince:

If we both want the love and I wait long enough
Then the ground that we're on might be common

All I can do is wait for you (I'm just waiting for you)
All I can do is wait for you (You know you want me)
All I can do is wait for you (You always had my number)
All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my lover)
All I can do is wait for you (Ooh oooh)
All I can do is wait for you (Wait for you, wait for, oh why you making me wait, oh why you making me wait, aaahh!)
I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
(I'm all alone) I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
(I'm all alone) I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
I'm all alone in the Waiting Room
(I'm all alone) I'm all alone in the Waiting Room

Gwen:

Will you call me when it's my turn
