I heard the stomping of feet dancing 
On the wooden floor upstairs 
I wasn't in the mood for laughing 
So I sat silent in my chair 
There was someone missing I knew 
Outside there fell the rain 
Where had she gone, what could I do 
I played the waiting game 
The cigarette smoke was annoying 
My mood was fit for a bath 
A drink couldn't oil my expression 
Nothing could make me laugh 
I was worried out of my head 
I was in such a state 
What's keeping her, where has she gone 
I played the waiting game 
When you love someone 
You worry when they're late 
When you love someone 
You know the time it takes 
To play the waiting game 
The music got louder and louder 
From the wooden floor upstairs 
I played with a handful of peanuts 
When I saw her standing there 
My mood leapt right out of the bath 
She had got stuck in the rain 
Her coat dripped on a hanger 
Playing the waiting 
I couldn't understand her 
Playing the waiting 
Seemed like I'd wait forever 
Playing the waiting game
