The Beatles , from their 1965 album "Rubber Soul ". The songwriting credit isLennon/McCartney , and is a real joint effort between the two (Lennon wrote the verses and refrain in F# minor, and McCartney wrote the bridge inA major ).Fact|date=February 2007. The lyrics, describing the singer's anxieties about his relationship with his girl while he is away, are thematically similar to several other Lennon-McCartney songs, such as "When I Get Home " and "Things We Said Today ," written during the period of 1964 and 1965.The song was originally recorded for "Help!" in June 1965 but did not make the final pressing. When "
Rubber Soul " fell one song short for a Christmas release, "Wait" was brought back. The Beatles added overdubs to the initial recording so it would blend in better with the other, more recent songs on "Rubber Soul ".A cover version was issued as a single by
Frankie Vaughan but failed to chart.References
