The Waiting Game
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who made up the rules to this silly game?
It's no fun at all
Wishing he would call
Standing around hoping for some guy to drop the ball
Chorus
Waiting, Wait, Waiting
Waiting, Wait, Waiting
It doesn't even matter if you both feel the same
Waiting, Wait, Waiting
Come on make your move, baby you're driving me insane
Waiting, Wait, Waiting
Everybody's playing the waiting game
I think I'll call him up to see what's going on
Check it out and see what's taking him so long
I got a feeling that he wants to take me to the dance
What if he says no?
Well I gotta take the chance
Chorus
I think I can do it
Yo girls back me up
Pick up the phone and let him know what's up
I'm ready to do it
Rushin' it to it
He might turn me down well I gotta go through it
Chorus
It doesn't even matter if you both feel the same
Waiting, Wait, Waiting
And Everybody's playing the waiting game
The lyrics of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen's song The Waiting Game discuss the frustration and confusion of waiting for a boy to make a move. The first verse sets the scene of the situation, where the singer is standing around hoping for a guy to call, but finding it all silly and no fun. The chorus emphasizes the theme of waiting, with the repetition of “Waiting, Wait, Waiting, ‘cause everybody’s playing the waiting game.” The second verse shows the singer’s decision to take matters into her own hands and call the guy up, despite the possibility of being rejected. The final chorus repeats the idea that everyone is playing the waiting game, and that it doesn't matter if both parties feel the same way.
Overall, the song captures the frustration and anxiety of waiting for someone to make a move in a relationship. It highlights the pressure and confusion of not knowing where both parties stand, and the tendency to rely on social norms or games instead of clear communication.
