[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter if there's no one here to share?
The flowers in the garden, the wine
The Waiting for Godot and so much modern time?

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
All I want is what you want
I’m always waiting for a red letter day

[Post-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]
For something special, somehow new
Someone saying, "I love you"
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
You can sneer or disappear behind a veneer of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts and are told thеy sin
This is a prayer for a different way

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
All I want is what you want
I’m always waiting for a rеd letter day

[Post-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant]
Like Christmas morning when you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day today

[Interlude]
I'm always waiting
I'm always waiting
Waiting

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
For something special, somehow new
Someone saying, "I love you"
Baby, I'm hoping for that red letter day
Today

[Outro]
A great anthem...
