Watching girls go passing by

It ain't the latest thing

I'm just standing in a doorway

I'm just trying to make some sense

Out of these girls passing by

The tales they tell of men

I'm not waiting on a lady

I'm just waiting on a friend

Mmmm a smile relieves a heart that grieves

Remember what I said

I'm not waiting on a lady

I'm just waiting on a friend



I'm just waiting on a friend

Just waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend

Just waiting on a friend



Don't need a whore

don't need no booze

Don't need a virgin priest

But I need someone I can cry to

I need someone to protect

Oooh making love and breaking hearts

It is a game for youth

But I'm not waiting on a lady

I'm just waiting on a firend



I'm just waiting on a friend

Just waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend

Just waiting on a friend
