I'm waiting for my man |
|
Twenty-six dollars in my hand |
|
Up to Lexington, 125 |
|
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive |
|
I'm waiting for my man |
|
Hey, white boy, what you doing uptown? |
|
Hey, white boy, you chasing our women around? |
|
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind |
|
I'm just looking for a dear, dear friend of mine |
|
I'm waiting for my man |
|
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black |
|
PR shoes and a big straw hat |
|
He's never early, he's always late |
|
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait |
|
I'm waiting for my man |
|
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs |
|
Everybody-body's pinned you, but nobody cares |
|
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste |
|
Aw, then you gotta split because you got no time to waste |
|
I'm waiting for my man |
|
Baby don't you holler, darling don't you bawl and shout |
|
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out |
|
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine |
|
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time |
|
I'm waiting for my man |
|
Walk me home, ah, that's all right |
