I’m Waiting for the Man Lyrics by Keith Richards

The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed

0

[Intro]
I, I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 1]
I, I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, one, two, five
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
(I) I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' all our women around?
Oh, pardon me, sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear friend of mine, (I) yeah
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 3]
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Beat up 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) I'm waiting for my man, waiting for my man (I)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares, yeah
He's got the works, gives you sweet tastе
You gotta split because you got no time to wastе
(I) I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 5]
Baby, don't you holler, baby don't you scream and shout
Yeah, I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling, oh, so fine
Until tomorrow, that's just some other time
(I) I'm waiting for my man, yeah
(I) I'm waiting for my man
Yeah, walk it home
Walk it
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
