WAIT (Lennon-McCartney) 1965 Jointly written by John and Paul, "Wait" was recorded for Help! but not used. It was only resurrected for Rubber Soul because they were a song short. It's been a long time now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh how I've been alone Wait, here I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we 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, here I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we 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, here I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we 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 But if your heart breaks don't wait turn me away And if your heart's strong hold on, I won't delay Wait, 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we cried It's been a long time now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
