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 
Just waiting on a friend
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
I`m just waiting on a friend 
I`m just waiting on a friend 

Just waiting on friend
I`m just waiting on a friend 
I`m just waiting on a friend
