I've been waiting for my man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
So sick and dirty
More dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' the women around
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a very good friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man, ooh!
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing that you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man. Oh!
SOLO
I said a brownstone building, up three flights of stairs
Nobody bothers to stop you, 'cause nobody cares
He's got the works, he gives you sweet taste
And then you gotta hurry because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
SOLO
I just don't know, exactly where I'm going
But, I've gotta try, for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I stuck that spike into my veins,
Then I tell you things they aren't quite the same
When I'm rushin' on my run, and I feel just like Jesus son.
And I guess that I just don't know, I thank God, I just don't know.
I said baby, don't you holler, darlin' do you ball and shout.
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
Walk me home, honey!
