Waitin' On A Woman
Sittin' on a bench at West Town MallHe sat down in his overalls and asked meYou waitin' on a womanI nodded yeah and said how 'bout youHe said son since nineteen fifty-two I've beenWaitin' on a woman
When I picked her up for our first dateI told her I'd be there at eightAnd she came down the stairs at eight-thirtyShe said I'm sorry that I took so longDidn't like a thing that I tried onBut let me tell you son she sure looked prettyYeah she'll take her time but I don't mindWaitin' on a woman
He said the wedding took a year to planYou talk about an anxious man,I was nervousWaitin' on a womanAnd then he nudged my arm like old men doAnd said, I'll say this about the honeymoon,it was worth itWaitin' on a woman
And I don't guess we've been anywhereShe hasn't made us late I swearSometimes she does it just 'cause she can do itBoy it's just a fact of lifeIt'll be the same with your young wifeMight as well go on and get used to itShe'll take her time 'cause you don't mindWaitin' on a woman
I've read somewhere statistics showThe man's always the first to goAnd that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be readySo when it finally comes my timeAnd I get to the other sideI'll find myself a bench, if they've got anyI hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mindWaitin' on a woman
Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mindWaitin' on a woman
