Wait And See
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
One day you'll cry, I won't come back to you
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
You've got such a great, big beautiful smile
I want to hug and kiss you for a while
The sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
You've got such a great, big beautiful smile
You're so doggone mean I wonder why?
One day you'll cry, I won't come back to you
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
The sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
Wait and see, wait and see
Wait and see, wait and see
In "Wait and See," Fats Domino tells a story of a man who is confident that his luck will turn around, and he will eventually triumph over his current struggles. The lyrics convey a sense of hopeful optimism, even in the face of adversity. The opening line, "The sun's gonna shine in my back door someday," is a metaphor for a brighter future. The singer is convinced that fortune will soon smile upon him, and he urges others to believe it too.
The following lines shift to address an unnamed individual, possibly a lover: "One day you'll cry, I won't come back to you. Just you wait and see." Despite the optimistic tone of the previous lines, this verse hints at a troubled relationship that has the potential to end badly. However, the singer is not deterred and maintains a cool, calm demeanor. He acknowledges the beauty of the person's smile but notes their mean streak, which implies that this relationship may already be on the rocks.
Overall, "Wait and See" is a song about persevering through tough times and maintaining a positive outlook even in the face of adversity. The lyrics offer reassurance that better days are ahead, and the singer is confident that he will overcome any challenges that come his way.

The sun's gonna shine in my back door someday
Things will eventually turn out good for me
Just you wait and see, just you wait and see
Have faith in my future success
One day you'll cry, I won't come back to you
Someday you'll regret mistreating me
You've got such a great, big beautiful smile
You appear kind but often act mean
I want to hug and kiss you for a while
Despite your mean streak, I still feel affection for you
Wait and see, wait and see
My optimism will prove itself over time

Should have been a big hit.
@strictlynorton
Elvis gave Fats huge props. Without the songs of Antoine Domino, R&R would never have taking off. Fats and Dave B wrote the blueprint for Elvis 5 years before his first hit. A warm, funny and mega talent, Fats will never be forgotten. A legend of N.O. R.I.P King!
