[Verse 1]
Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, Lord, I know I won't mind
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

[Verse 2]
Well, an eagle on a dollar says "In God we trust"
You say you won't obey me, you wanna see the dollar first
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Lord, if the river was made of whiskey, I was a duck
I'd just swim to the bottom and I'd never come up
How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait?
Why can't I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

[Verse 4]
I know there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea
I know you mean the whole world to me
How long, dear, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?
[Verse 5]
I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes
Lord knows I got them hesitation blues
Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
Why can I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

[Outro]
Yes (That sounds good!)
