Lyrics

[00:17.36] I'm waiting for my man
[00:24.77] Twenty-six dollars in my hand
[00:31.92] Up to lexington, 125
[00:35.27] Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
[00:40.22] I'm waiting for my man
[00:50.68] Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
[00:58.33] Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
[01:05.99] Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
[01:09.70] I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
[01:14.50] I'm waiting for my man
[01:24.96] Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
[01:32.52] Pr shoes and a big straw hat
[01:40.07] He's never early, he's always late
[01:43.72] First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
[01:48.77] I'm waiting for my man
[02:33.73] Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
[02:40.97] Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
[02:48.46] He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
[02:51.81] Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
[02:56.90] I'm waiting for my man
[03:11.50] Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
[03:18.85] I'm feeling good, you know i'm gonna work it on out
[03:26.37] I'm feeling good, i'm feeling oh so fine
[03:30.04] Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
[03:34.84] I'm waiting for my man
