According to the Taylor Dayne Songfacts Interview, Taylor grew up in Long Island, and her parents were very involved in independent theatre: the Manhattan Theatre Group, the Pap Theatre, La Mome. By 4 or 5 she was singing along with the radio. Her dad gave Taylor her first radio, she turned it on and there was Stevie Wonder playing. As Taylor grew older, she started going into a little bit more of a rock direction as the top 40 was going in a different path for a period of time - it was more of the supergroups, Jethro Tull, Yes etc. She had her first solo by first grade, and by her fourth grade she was singing Jacques Brel.
Dayne came to prominence in the late 1980s and remained at the top of the charts through the 1990s. She released her fifth album "Satisfied" in February 2008. "Beautiful" the first single hit number 1 in the American dance charts and #23 on the Adult Contemporary. The second single from "Satisfied" titled "My Heart Can't Change" reached #19 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In 2010, Dayne's single "Facing A Miracle" was released. In 2011, Dayne's single "Floor On Fire" became her 18th Top 10 hit when it peaked at #8 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Dayne continues to record and tour.

Wait for Me
Taylor Dayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep you better satisfied
And if I had a crystal ball
I'd show you all the future hides
But for now
Take a little time to know me
I swear I'm not stringing you along
I might be driving you crazy
I wouldn't steer you wrong
[Chorus]
Wait for me boy
If we take it slow
We'll discover something greater
Wait for me boy
You know I'll give in sooner or later
Wait for me boy
Wait for me boy
You say your clock
Is running on the overtime
But you know
It takes a lot to
Get into this heart of mine
Don't you know
Every minute the feeling gets stronger
Quick love is not my style
Hold on just a little bit longer
I'll make it worth your while
I'll make it worth your while
[Chorus]
Take me in your arms so near
Just hold me and I'll lose my fears
It's just a matter of time
For me and you
If you want my love
All you got to do
[Chorus]
In Taylor Dayne's song Wait For Me, the singer is pleading with her love interest to wait for her and take things slow in their relationship. She declares that no one could ever make him more satisfied than she can, but she needs a little time for him to get to know her better before she can fully commit. She's not stringing him along but might be driving him crazy with her slow pace, however, she assures him that she wouldn't lead him in the wrong direction.
The chorus repeats the plea to wait for her, promising that they will eventually discover something greater if they take their time together. The singer acknowledges that her love interest's clock is ticking and he's becoming impatient with her, but she reminds him that it takes a lot to get into her heart. Every minute his love for her gets stronger and quick love is not her style. However, she promises to make it worth his while if he continues to wait for her.
