I Can't Wait Lyric Mystery

APerfectLie · #1 11-09-2010, 03:13 AM

So around 4:18 in I Can't Wait, Stevie says something that I have never been able to fully make out. I always assumed it was just "Oh no time well you make up your mind baby!!" but my friend recently pointed out to me that he always hears it as "Go home to your cobwebs and think of your sorrow baby" which I thought would be a really interesting lyric, so I gave it another listen, but now I swear she says something about "fire baby".

Any ideas? Or is this just a coke induced ramble or whargarble???

I always thought it was "There's no hope for time while you make up your mind, baby." I'm not sure that's right, though.

I Can't Wait is just full of lyric mysteries! How we get "How will we feel 20 years from now" I'll never know!

As to the part in question, I always thought it was "Lord knows time will make up your mind, baby".

But now that it's been put to me, I can definitely hear 'hope' at the beginning (and I don't know why I was hearing what I thought I was hearing before that). Can't quite make out a sensible sentence in there though....

I think it's "Alone all the time well make up your mind baby".

I always thought the same as you, but who knows! I bet Stevie wouldn't have a clue herself

I always thought it was "No one knows the time when you make up your mind, baby!".

"If I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind, baby I can't wait, I can't wait."

I almost agree with this....I think it's "Am I wasting my time" instead of "If I'm wasting my time."

I thought so too at first. Will have to listen again.

This is what I always thought it was. Makes sense.

mystery will remain a mystery

No idea what it is, but I've always sung along to it as "don't hold me tight while you make up your mind baby..."

I hear "Don't hope for time while you make up your mind, baby..."

I really don't think the "How will we feel" part sounds like Stevie at all. I'm convinced it was a sample from a movie or something.

Oh, and I think the mystery lyric is "Don't know the time will you make up your mind, baby".
