[Verse 1]
I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide
I prefer they didn't know
So I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

[Verse 2]
I've been sliding down a slippery slope
I've been climbing up a slowly burning rope
But the flame is getting low
I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

[Bridge]
You never need to worry about me, I'll be fine on my own
Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting till the danger passed
I don't know how long the storm is going to last
If we're going to carry on
I'll be waiting on the other side, till your friends are gone
So tell me what I want to know
I'll be waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

[Bridge]
Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own

[Verse 3]
I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide
I prefer they didn't know
So I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

[Outro]
I've been waiting on the other side
I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to go

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
