I'm Waiting for the Man
I'm waiting for my manTwenty six dollars in my handUp to Lexington 1-2-5Feeling sick and dirty more dead than aliveI'm waiting for my man
Hey white boy, what you doin' uptownHey white boy, you chasin' our women aroundOh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mindI'm just lookin' for a dear dear friend of mineI'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in blackPR shoes and a big straw hatHe's never early, he's always lateFirst thing you learn is that you always gotta waitI'm waiting for my man
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairsEverybody's pinned you but nobody caresHe's got the works gives you sweet tasteThen you gotta split because he's got no time to wasteI'm waiting for my man
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you ball and shoutI'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it onoutI'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fineUntil tomorrow but that's just some other timeI'm waiting for my man
