[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for my man
Got three hundred and forty-seven dollars in my hand
I got up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than I’m alive
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you messing all our women around?
Oh, pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm only waitin' for a dear, dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 3]
Oh, here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes
With PR shoes and a big straw hat
You gotta know he's he's always late, he’s never early
He’s never early, he’s always late
The first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
Waiting for my man
[Verse 4]
It happened in a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's knows exactly what you’re doing, nobody cares
He's give you the sweet, sweet sound
[?]
I’m, I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 5]
Honey, don't you holler, honey, don't you sat and bawl
Honey, I'm feeling good, I'm gonna go on and work it all out
I'm feeling good, see, he’s just fine
Til tomorrow, but that's just some other time
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
I'm waiting for my man
[Outro]
I'm waiting for my man
Waiting for my man
Wait
