Sittin' on a bench at West Town 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.''
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 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 her time but I don't mind Waitin' on a woman.
He said, ''The wedding took a year to plan You talk about 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 made us late I swear Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it Boy 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 man's always the first to go And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be 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 cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman...
