Waiting on a Woman

[Verse 1] Sitting on a bench at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me You waitin' on a woman I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been Waitin' on a woman [Verse 2] When I picked her up for our first date I told her I'd be there at eight And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty She said I'm sorry that I took so long Didn't like a thing that I tried on But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty [Chorus] Yeah she'll take her time but I don't mind Waitin' on a woman [Verse 3] He said the wedding took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous Waiting on a woman And then he nudged my arm like old men do And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it Waiting on a woman [Verse 4] And I don't guess we've been anywhere She hasn't made us late I swear Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it Boy it's just a fact of life It'll be the same with your young wife Might as well go on and get used to it [Chorus] She'll take her time because you don't mind Waiting on a woman [Verse 5] I've read somewhere statistics show The man's always the first to go And that makes sense cause I know she won't be ready So when it finally comes my time And I get to the other side I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any [Chorus] I hope she takes her time, cause I don't mind Waiting on a woman [Outro] Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind Waiting on a woman
