Sittin' on a bench, at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me "You waitin' on a woman?" I nodded yes, "and how about you?" He said, "Son since 1952 I've been Waitin' on a woman" When I picked her up for our first date I told her I'd be there at 8: 00 And she came down the stairs at 8: 30 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 Yeah she'll take her time But I don't mind waitin' on a woman He said the weddin' took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man I was nervous Waitin' 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" Waitin' on a woman 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 She'll take her time 'Cause you don't mind Waitin' on a woman I've read somewhere statistics show The man's always the first to go And that makes sense because 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 got any I hope she takes her time Because I don't mind Waitin' on a woman Honey take your time Because I don't mind Waitin' on a woman
