Joe Jackson - The Verdict lyrics

Did you do me right? Did i do right by you? When i bared my soul it seems you did not hear Can this be true? Am i fool to fight? I could do just what you say But i'm following my heart and that takes me another way It's not easy when there's no one one giving prizes at the end Waiting in the wings Wishing that the band would start to play As the show begins Wonder what the critics have to say Waiting Waiting For the verdict Some people live so fast They're so scared of getting old Some people keep on working All they do is line their graves with gold We don''t know what happens when we die We only know we die too soon But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room Would you testify for me? I think i'd do the same for you Waiting in the dark Waiting for the phone to ring all day My witness disappears Wonder what the jury has to say Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting
