"
Wait" is a song recorded by
the Beatles, from their 1965 album
Rubber Soul. The songwriting credit is
Lennon–McCartney, and the song is usually said to be a joint effort between the two, although in the 1997 book,
Many Years from Now, McCartney recalls it as entirely his. This is supported by a 1970 interview with John Lennon by Ray Connolly. John could not remember writing it. "That must be one of Paul's," he said. The middle eight section is similar to
Autumn Leaves (1945 song) (one example being the line "I know that you" matches "old winter's song" from Autumn Leaves).
