Vanessa Paradis - I'm Waiting for The Man lyrics

rate me

I'm waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Up to lexington 1-2-5

Feeling sick and dirty more dead than alive

I'm waiting for my man

Hey white boywhat you doin' uptown

Hey white boyyou chasin' our women around

Oh pardon me sirit's furthest from my mind

I'm just lookin' for a dear dear friend of mine

I'm waiting for my man

Here he comeshe's all dressed in black

Pr shoes and a big straw hat

He's never earlyhe's always late

First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstoneup three flights of stairs

Everybody's pinned you but nobody cares

He's got the works gives you sweet taste

Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste

I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't hollerdarlin' don't you ball and shout

I'm feeling goodyou know I'm gonna work it on out

I'm feeling goodI'm feeling oh so fine

Until tomorrow but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man.
