The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers ( /ˈaɪzliː/ YZ-lee) are an American musical group consisting of brothers Ron and Ernie Isley. The founding members of the band were Ronald Isley, older brothers Rudy and Kelly and younger brother Vernon. Originally formed as a gospel quartet, following the death of brother Vernon, the remaining trio launched a career into doo-wop scoring with their first million-selling hit single, "Shout", in 1959. Follow-up successes came with the 1962 single, "Twist and Shout" and the 1966 Motown single, "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)". more »

I don't want to be no clock watcher
Standin' in line
I don't want to 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

[Chorus:]
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 want to 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 want to talk to me, yeah

[Chorus]

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 want to be your standby, baby
Hangin' around, yeah, girl
I don't want to be someone in love
Wastin' my time

Hurry up and wait, yeah, baby
Waitin' here on your love
[Repeat x 3]
