I'm waiting for my man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington, 125 Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive I'm waiting for my man 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 that you learn is you always gotta wait I'm waiting for my man Up to Brownstone, up three flights of stairs Everybody's pinned you, nobody cares He's got the works, gives you a sweet taste And then you gotta split, no time to waste I'm waiting for my man Baby, don't you worry, don't you scream and shout 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, 'cause that's just some other time I'm waiting for my man I'm waiting for the man
