I'm Wating for the Man
I'm waiting for my man
I got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
Oh, sweet mamma
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black, like me
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
This is what it sounds like
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then he's gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, baby don't you holler, don't you bawl and shout
You know your uncle Lou is feelin' good, you know he's gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm, I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man (hear me callin' now, baby)
I'm waiting for my man (alright)
I'm waiting for my man
I got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
Oh, sweet mamma
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black, like me
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
This is what it sounds like
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then he's gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, baby don't you holler, don't you bawl and shout
You know your uncle Lou is feelin' good, you know he's gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm, I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man (hear me callin' now, baby)
I'm waiting for my man (alright)
I'm waiting for my man
