Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall |
|
He sat down in his overalls and asked me |
|
''You waitin' on a woman?'' |
|
I nodded yeah and said, ''How 'bout you?'' |
|
He said, ''Son since nineteen fifty-two I've been |
|
Waitin' on a woman.'' |
|
When I picked her up for our first date |
|
I told her I'd be there at eight |
|
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty |
|
She said, ''I'm sorry that I took so long |
|
Didn't like a thing that I tried on.'' |
|
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty |
|
Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't mind |
|
Waitin' on a woman. |
|
He said, ''The wedding took a year to plan |
|
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous |
|
Waitin' on a woman.'' |
|
And then he nudged my arm like old men do |
|
And said, ''I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it |
|
Waitin' on a woman.'' |
|
And I don't guess we've been anywhere |
|
She hasn't made us late I swear |
|
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it |
|
Boy it's just a fact of life |
|
It'll be the same with your young wife |
|
Might as well go on and get used to it |
|
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind |
|
Waitin' on a woman. |
|
I've read somewhere statistics show |
|
The man's always the first to go |
|
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready |
|
So when it finally comes my time |
|
And I get to the other side |
|
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any |
|
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind |
|
Waitin' on a woman. |
|
Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind |
|
Waitin' on a woman... |
