{Intro} [Verse 1] Watching girls go passing by It ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense' Out of these girls that passing by The tales they tell of men I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend [Verse 2] A smile relieves a heart that grieves Remember what I said I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend Just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend {Bridge} [Verse 3] Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need someone I can cry to I need someone to protect Making love and breaking hearts It is a game for youth But I'm not waiting on my lady I'm just waiting on a friend [Outro] I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend Just waiting on a friend Waiting on a friend Waiting on a friend
