WAIT

"Wait" is a song recorded by The Beatles, from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. The songwriting credit is Lennon/McCartney, and is a joint effort between the two. The lyrics, describing the singer's anxieties about his relationship with his girl while he is away, are thematically similar to several other Lennon/McCartney songs, such as "When I Get Home" and "Things We Said Today," written during the period of 1964 and 1965.

The song was originally recorded for Help! in June 1965 but did not make the final pressing. When Rubber Soul fell one song short for a Christmas release, "Wait" was brought back. The Beatles added overdubs to the initial recording so it would blend in better with the other, more recent songs on Rubber Soul.

The story is about a guy in his thirties that falls for a 15 year old girl and has to compete with younger guys for her. He soon realizes that he has to use non conventional moves to get her.

"Wait" es una canción de The Beatles que aparece en su álbum de 1965 Rubber Soul. La canción se atribuye a Lennon/McCartney y es una de las que verdaderamente presenta un esfuerzo entre ambos (Lennon escribió los versos y el coro en F#m y McCartney el puente en A). La canción trata sobre la ansiedad del cantante mientras está alejado de su novia, algo bastante común en las canciones de Lennon/McCartney, como When I Get Home y Things We Said Today, escritas entre 1964 y 1965.

La canción iba a ser incluida primeramente en Help!, pero la grabación no terminó como se esperaba. Cuando a Rubber Soul le faltaba alguna canción para las ventas navideñas, Wait fue traída de vuelta. Los Beatles añadieron overdubs al comienzo ayudando a que la canción calzara con las más recientes composiciones de Rubber Soul.

Existe un cover de Frankie Vaughan que fue lanzado como single.

El cuento trata sobre un hombre en sus treintas que se enamora de una chica de quince años y que, al no poder dar la talla de lo que ella necesita, debe competir con otras armas para retenerla.

LA LETRA /THE LYRICS.

It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me

It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me

It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh, how I've been alone
