Marina & The Diamonds - What You Waiting For? Lyrics
What an amazing time, what a family
How did the years go by, now it's only me
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick
Wooo
Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation, shut my eyes can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a climber
Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance 'cause you might grow
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for?
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick
Take a chance you stupid hoe
Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart, why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
You know you're wicking out
'Cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up, how our society all thinks
Life is short, you're capable
Oh, ah, oh
Look at your watch now!
You're still a super hot female!
You got your million dollar contract!
And they're all waiting for your hot track!
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for?
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for?
I can't wait to go back into Japan
Get me lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo, you Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style!
Go!
Look at your watch now!
You're still a super hot female!
You got your million dollar contract!
And they're all waiting for your hot track!
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for
What you waiting [x4]
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
Take a chance 'cause you might grow
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
Take a chance you stupid hoe
Uhh, uhh, uhh
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
Take a chance you're capable!

Marina & The Diamonds What You Waiting For? Comments
majorrrr kate bush influences here i LOVEE ITTTT
Stop discrediting Gwen she still wrote the song she just made it digestible to pop fans
Why isn’t this on Apple Music
wow, this is cool
My kink is marina calling me a stupid hoe
I can hear this being inspiration for mowglis road
Omg. The only pop song from my childhood I liked, sung by the only pop star I like in my adult. The fuck <3
I almost believe that im capable now
i wish there was a more rock instrumental cause she has a great voice for it
WHAAAAT is this? And I thought I had to live with that awful iTunes version when she was sick.
i am prregrarnte
She could sing any genre and be a queen at
I NEED A FUCKING GLISSANDO ON THE PIANO ON 1:40
gives a whole different vibe than the orig
and oh my god , how fitting it is
don't yell at me
Better than original
"take a chance you stupid hoe" OMG YES
i love how she captured the crazy vocals gwen had in it originally, i love when marina goes crazy and wild with her voice, that's why the family jewels will always be my favorite album by her. in froot and electra heart she didn't keep the same edgy personality and i wish she would still do stuff like this
Delightful Wild Song
I didn’t really get this song the first 1000 times I heard it until I hear Marina sing it, and now that I’m a bit a older, I really get it. Most of the lyrics aren’t her words or thoughts, it’s other people’s comments and opinions and “advice” to her.
Except the bridge. That still means nothing to me lol. I know the harijuku girls were Gwen’s little project she referenced a lot, but that’s about it
her MIND
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
Do y’all even know that this isn’t marinas song. She’s covering it. She didn’t write it
I think the original song is really good, but Marina absolutely killed it! I love how she sounds like she should be in 'Troubled Mind.' (It's an unreleased song by Marina). I definitely prefer this version to the original.
Her singing style in this song remind me to Bjork
i don't like it...
1:03 damn ma is it that serious
2:25 😍
I came here because someone told me she sounds like a spray bottle in this...ACTUALLY SHE SOUNDS LIKE A GODDESS AS ALWAYS
Marina is the name of my mom
horrible
I like the original version by Gwen Stefani better, but this is pretty good too.
How do I make this song last forever? Oh, I know ! *press replay button obsessively
BRAVAAAA
Thank fuckin you for having this gold
i like gwen and all but this is the superior version.
This seems like the original idea of Mowgli's Road, wow I didn't discovered this until now xD
So good!! <3
So my favourite singer of the moment covered the song of my teenage years ?
This cover is beyond amazing ! It has this strange Emily Automn vibe old Marina had :').
I almost died when I found this. I love gwen and marina so much
"And they're all waiting for your hot track"
ehm, well,...
looK AT YOUR WATCH NOW
i miss this woman :(
marina
what you waiting
what you waiting
what you waiting
what you waiting
what you waiting
FFOOoorrrr
to make new songs
IM BORED well she finally made some!
Lol @ people who say Gwen Stefani sings anything better than this girl. I just found her and can tell the difference between GS who sounds the same all the time, never changing..just Gwen Stefani and her very talented and honed, but canned voice. This girl has a multitude of expression that can't be fully defined without pouring over every nuance. This is why the music industry is like the lottery, most have no idea who or what is talent... only what will appease the masses.
This Cover gives me LIFE. 😍👌🏽👏
stop smoking marina 😦
Growsomestrawbs LMAO
HOW AM I ONLY FINDING THIS NOW!?!?!
I grew up with the original Song omg I FUCKING LOVE MARINA
Take a chance cause you might grow. Take a chance you are capable.
Philosophy.
the tick tock makes me want to shoot myself
HNNNN THIS IS SO GOOD
I really love the original song, but I think I like this cover version more.. 🤔❤️
She kinda has a Broadway Disney villain sound to her, its awesome.
That is actually accurate af :o
Ursula!
I sometimes think about a musical with Marina, Kristen Bell, Kristen Chenoweth, and Ariana Grande in it. Only a dream but it would be amazing
original from Gwen Stefani is 100000x better
hahahahaha, good joke
babe, i'm gonna ruin you if you let me stay Marina sucks
did you like your own comment? haha
babe, i'm gonna ruin you if you let me stay no that was somebody who thinks marina suck too
IM MOIST
this is the weirdest thing to happen to me
kubrickselfies it is, right? I think that sums it up perfectly.
I just ain't digging this version sorry :(
tuBryan Juarez I am
did she just say haru juku girls (don't know how to spell it) but that's a show....
The show Harujuku Girls was made by Gwen Stefani based on her debut album from 12 years ago called "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." In that album, Gwen introduces the Harujuku Girls and mentions them in a lot of her songs. These are the same girls that appear on the show (Minus Gwen herself). The song Marina is covering comes out from that same album, thus the reference to these girls. People younger than 15 years old wouldn't understand the context of the album if they just watched the cartoon since they'd be too young to know about the album, which is why I truly dislike the concept of the show. But that's another comment for another time.
bubblelover343 I watched the cartoon a long time ago they had folders and everything but thanks for the info
bubblelover343 didn't watch the show but I heard the album though and I am sixteen (although you said that only people older than fifteen could catch the reference i had to write this😂)
TIK TOK TIK TOK TIK TOK TIK TOK TIK <3
now all i can think of is the app
@Melinda Diamonds That's so sad haha
I though i listened to all of her unreleased songs
Billly Ray Cyrus Wow I didn't know Billy Ray Cyrus listened to Marina and the diamonds
Came here for artistic refuge because Halsey's Closer made my fucking ears bleed.
yall suck both halsey and marina slay
Zohaib Rehman exactly. Now shes ruined
Melanie Martinez fan #01 that’s not my fault if marina isnt popular. also that song isn’t made by halsey, she’s just featured in it. not gonna waste my time on ur bullshit cuz i believe that both are greatly inspiring artists
Melanie Martinez fan #01 also thats not million thats billion lol :)
we should all... burn hasley at the stake
2:23 tyjo or marina no one can tell
damn, im literally cringing at this comment section
triple orgasm
It's viergasm. :D
Marina and The Devil youve got your million dollar-AAHHYAH
Sechasm
Insee you on every marina video I swear
ッLivingLikeKlungo same Tbh 😂😂 I love how I see them on every matd vid
where can i found a piano sheet music for this?
marina takes a song and gives it her touch which makes it so special and gives me life
Melinda Diamonds yeah I didn't see anything in the original and in this I see so muchhh.
You can just tell she resonates with this song.
I FELL IN LOVE WIT THIS OMFG
She was born to sing this song
I think Gwen Stefani was first
Daaaaamnn i really cant decide which i like more~Gwen or Marina :3
I love the grisle in the tone of her voice when she goes into her lower register!! and the heavenly head voice she has is amazing! and I love the way she pronounces some words aswell. I love her voice ❤
this is amazing... I luv marina
Lovely!
I like gwin,s version better
Hahaha this is a load of crap XD
You just can't compare Gwen to Marina. They have different styles. Of course, though, I want to say this is better because of my bias toward Marina. She's Bae
I'm waiting for my cookie, where is it? ;-;
+Schiiggy OMG LOL XD
nice voice but this song is not for meant for her voice.Also I think she overdoes it with the operale vocals and it's too theatrical.Gwen really felt the song and if there is something theatrical in the way she sings it it's as much as it should be.
Nice try though.
Marina's style in general is very theatrical. I feel like a musical could easily be made with her discography. (and it would be the best musical ever)
Fav part Look at your watch now! You're still a super hot feeemale
Mightyena Wildclaws sAME
she made it better tbh
lol delusion
@Gwen Stefani Stan Opinions, man. Everyone has them.
look i love gwen as well its just my opinion lmao chill @Gwen Stefani Stan
Erdjie Bund your dumb lmao
Erdjie Bund Have you ever heard of vibrato bruh
Guys, what happened with Marinas hair in this pic?
Adrian Barker Sorry I knew this is from 10 months ago, but her hair looks like its been edited
Reminds me of the way gwen sings it live. Gwens live version sounded NOTHING like the studio one
she may not be gwen but she a human bean
not to be mean because she's really good but what with the voice xD
al final era
la final
The way she sings the bridge kills me!!! 😍
this is fucking amazing!! i love both gwen and marina and this is the perfect combination of gwens song and marinas voice <3
i really couldn't decide if i like this cover or the original better, they both go such a completely different way, that I find it difficult to compare them.
it's like two different songs
se le olvido el tock
I just imagine her with the original music. That will be an interesting and good mix to hear.
This is horrible.......
@Nadine you're iconic
when she said harajuku girls i screamed
this sonds very horryble !!!
