I'm Waiting For the Man

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 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

P-R 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

Ah, work it out

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

Ah, 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, oh, so fine

Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man

Walk it home

Ah, that's all right
