[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 3]
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
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
Ah, then you gotta split because you got no timе to waste
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 5]
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I’ll work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling real finе
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
Ah, I'm waiting for my man
