[Verse 1]
I went to a gay bar
And I looked at all the paintings
If you see somebody
Studying paintings at a gay bar, that's me
And all the boys were laughing
And then all the girls were dancing
And I thought for a moment
I saw someone in between

[Pre-Chorus]
So, do you want to talk to me?
Do you want to dance with me?
Do you want to get drunk and discuss anthropology?
I don't really care that much
No, I don't care at all
I just don't want to be alone when I hit that wall

[Chorus]
'Cause all of my life
Oh, all of my life
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting in line

[Verse 2]
So I went to the gay bar
And I got myself a haircut
I was feeling like I should
Thinking I looked pretty good
And at the door there was a fee
And once inside would you believe
That no one even took a second
To take a second glance at me?

[Pre-Chorus]
So, do you want to talk to me?
Do you want to dance with me?
Do you want to get drunk and discuss anthropology?
I don't really care that much
No, I don't care at all
I just don't want to be alone when I take that fall

[Chorus]
'Cause all of my life
Oh, all of my life
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting in line
[Verse 3]
So I went to the gay bar
Only stayed an hour or two
Then I mustered up the courage
To come crawling back to you
And I know that that's bad etiquette
And I know it's pretty low
But I realized that I love you
And I thought you oughta know

[Pre-Chorus]
So, say that you'll still talk to me
Please say that you'll still dance with me
Say you want to stay at home and discuss anthropology
'Cause I don't really care that much
But I'd pretend for you
Let me say again so it sinks in,
That I'm sorry and I love you

[Chorus]
And all of my life,
In fact, all of our lives
We are waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
For the right time
