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 go passing by. The tales they tell of men. I'm not waiting on a lady. I'm just waiting on a friend. 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. Don't need a whore. I don't need no booze. Don't need a virgin priest. But I need someone I can cry to. I need someone to protect. 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 friend
