Waitin' On A Woman

[Verse 1] Sitting on a bench at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me You Waiting on a woman I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been Waiting on a woman [Verse 2] 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 Waiting on a woman [Verse 3] He said the wedding took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous Waiting 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 Waiting on a woman [Verse 4] 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 because you don't mind Waiting on a woman [Verse 5] 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 Waiting on a woman [Outro] Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind Waiting on a woman
