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 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 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 But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't Waitin' on a woman.
He said, ''The wedding took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous Waitin' on 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 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 it She'll take her time 'cause 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 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 woman...
