I'm Waiting For My Man

I'm waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Up to Lexington, 125

He's 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 all 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

I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs

Everybody's body pins you, but nobody cares

He's got the works, give you sweet taste

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 feel oh so fine

Until tomorrow but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man

I'm walking home
