So tired
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep me waiting all of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep me waiting
Please don't keep me waiting
Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

    General Comment:where else has this song been recorded? I first heard GD cover it back in '98 (I think - around then, at least, because it was before I went to college). It was studio too & not live. I thought maybe it was on a comp, which I've been looking for.

    General Comment:Lol I love this song more than the Kinks version even though they're really the exact same thing. I guess it's because I have this weird thing where I just love guys' singing voices way more than girls.

    General Comment:Well green day are great in everything they do... and yes this covers sounds very similar to the kinks song is GREAT!! I love this song and I always think of the guy I love, because he keeps me all the time waiting for him. So there's a point in which you become so tired of waiting for this person that you just want to tell him "to do what he wants but not to keep you waiting".

    General Comment:Yeah, I grew up listening to my dad's Kinks CDs and I was curious to hear how this would turn out. Most bands would be delighted to have their albums sound half as good as a collection of Green Day B-sides! Shenanigans just proves how amazing they are.

    Luv,
