i'm waiting for the man

i'm waiting for my man

got twenty-six dollars in my hand

up to lexington

125

feeling sick and dirty

more dead than alive

i'm waiting for my man

up to a brownstone

up three flights of stairs

everybody's pinned you

but nobody cares

pardon me sir

it's the furthest from my mind

i'm just waitin' for a dear

dear friend of mine

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

waiting for my man

waiting

waiting for my man

waiting

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 you always gotta wait

i'm waiting for my man

hey baby

don't you holler

don't you bawl and shout

i'm feeling good

i'm gonna work it on out

i'm feeling good

i'm feeling so fine

until tomorrow

but that's just another time

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man

waiting

i'm waiting for my man.
