Sittin´ on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin´ on a woman
I nodded yeah and said how ´bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I´ve been

Waitin´ on a woman

When I picked her up for our first date
I told her I´d be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
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 wedding 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 ´cause 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´ve got any
I hope she takes her time, ´cause I don´t mind

Waitin´ on a woman

Honey, take your time, cause I don´t mind
Waitin´ on a woman
