Linda Ronstadt - The Waiting Lyrics

written by Tom Petty

© 1981 Gone Gator Music (ASCAP)



Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now

Don't it feel like something from a dream

Hey I've never known nothing quite like this

Don't it feel like the night might never be again

Baby we know better than to try and pretend

Honey, no one could've ever told me about this

I said yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah



The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you see one more card

You take it on faith

You take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part



Well yeah you might've chased a couple women around

Oh all it ever got you is down

Yeah then there were those that made me feel good

But never as good as I feel right now

Baby you're the only one that's ever known how

To make me want to live like I want to live now

I said yeah yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah



The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you get one more yard

You take it on faith

You take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part



Oh, don't let it kill you babe

Don't let it get to you

Don't let it kill you babe

Don't let it get to you

I'll be your bleeding heart

I'll be your crying fool

Don't let this go too far

Don't let it get to you



(guitar break)



I said yeah yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah



The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you get one more yard

You take it on faith

You take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part



The waiting is the hardest part



(mandolin break)



It's the hardest part

It's the hardest part
