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 AND
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
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
WAITIN' ON A WOMAN
HE SAID THE WEDDING
TOOK A YEAR TO PLAN
YOU TALK ABOUT
AN ANXIOUS MAN
I WAS NERVOUS
WAITIN'
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
WAITIN'
ON A WOMAN
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
'CAUSE YOU 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 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
WAITIN' ON A WOMAN
HONEY TAKE YOUR TIME
CAUSE I DON'T MIND
WAITIN' ON A WOMAN
