Isley Brothers, The - Hurry Up And Wait Lyrics






I don't wanna be no clock watcher
Standin' in line
I don't wanna be someone in love
Wastin' my time
Can I get right to the point, baby
You know I care
Tell me what you want, yeah, baby
And I'm right here
Now tell me what it is I'm supposed to do
And someday I'll get to you
But in the meantime
I know what I gotta do
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
On your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
On your love
I don't wanna be your standby, girl
Hangin' around
I know you would tell me, baby
If I ever let you down
But I cannot second guess you, huh
From what I see
You're not saying nothin', baby
But I know you wanna talk to me, yeah
Now tell me what it is I'm supposed to do
And someday I'll get to you, girl
But in the meantime
I know what I gotta do
Is hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
On your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
On your love
Well, I don't wanna be that someone
Lettin' you down, yeah
I don't wanna be your standby, girl
Hangin' around, well
Now tell me what it is I'm supposed to do
And someday I'll get to you, girl
But in the meantime
I know what I gotta do
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby, ooh
On your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
On your love
Hurry up and wait
I don't wanna be your standby, baby
Hangin' around, yeah, girl
I don't wanna be someone in love
Wastin' my time
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
Waitin' here on your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
Waitin' here on your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
Waitin' here on your love
Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
Waitin' here on your love

  5. A.... M....

    Skating. . .
    The Isley Brothers had many hot tracks. . . let me share two of them with you.
    "Groove With You" and "Hurry Up And Wait".

    Hurry Up And Wait is a love ballad written about how no one wants to wait, no one can make you hurry; You are anxious to love me and I am anxious to love you. . . for the anticipation of waiting on you gets me in a hurry to wait here on your love. And Lo, I am hurry up and waiting.

    Groove With You is a love ballad written about a man's wife.
    G. W. Y.
    Hence the term groove with you.

  11. K.... G....

    Heard this jam as a little boy (Late 80s) n I was hooked from the opening sound. Music like this has kept me calm and cool n outta jail r dead at an early age. U can't think about violence at all listening to tracks like this. God bless the isley 4 blessing mankind with their music.

  12. F.... C....

    Can't do no wrong.

  26. K.... W....

    The Isley Brothers Hurry Up and Wait song is nice and Grand Slam album cover posted above is nice. RIP Marvin and Kelly Isley.

  27. C.... J....

    Check out "The One" by Chris Jasper...reminiscent of the music he created for the Isley Brothers during the 3+3 era.....  http://youtu.be/Vv5ECBc5nnI

  28. M.... L....

    Taken from Grand Slam from 3-28-1981 as T-Neck #FZ 37080

    M.... L....

    Mr. Lonnie Booker "Grand Slam" was a great song by The Isley Brothers from 1981.

  29. J.... H....

    Wasn't any badder six brothers (in law) in the business miss them so much, God Rest Their Souls.

    J.... H....

    Hey Jeffrey, God rest their souls? Only Marvin and O'Kelly are deceased. Chris left in the 80s and Rudolph retired. Ernie and Ron still tour as The Isley Brothers.

    J.... H....

    Don't write them all off man.. The only ones that are deceased (as Noel Z. Wiseman) pointed out are O'Kelly and Marvin.. (and Also Vernon Isley that died long ago). Ron and Ernie still tour. Chris Jasper has a new Gospel/Christian solo album out and I believe Rudolph still preaches

  30. J.... H....

    Rappers take note and learn how to play an instrument for Christ sake's.

    J.... H....

    The turntable is an instrument

    J.... H....

    Jeffrey Huner how about you take note on your shit observation of rap music

    J.... H....

    don't generalize man please. I am from the younger generation.. most of the time when I attend Isley concerts I'm one of the youngest if not the youngest at their shows but I know more about the Isleys than most older fans. Look there are Plenty of talented hip-hop artists in 2019 and plenty of talented RnB artists.. they most talented ones are not the ones that are saturated all throughout BET and popular radio. Don't let the media trick you into thinking that the auto-tuned garbage is the only thing that 2019 has to offer. It's not..

  31. J.... H....

    Yeah, baby Hurry Up and Wait!

  32. m.... ....

    I don't want to be no clock watcher standing in line, I don't want to be someone in love wasting my time....

  33. J.... C....

    They did a grand slam on this track it was very hot in Chicago during late summer months you would hear it playing in about every 5 cars that pass you on the road. Classic Great Track !!!!!!!!!!!!! A stepper Cut in Chicago as well.
