Am                F
Watchin girls go passing by
G                     C
It ain't the latest thing
G                       C
I'm just standing in a doorway
G                             C
I'm just trying to make some sense

Out of these girls go passing by...
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves the heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

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

Makin love and breakin hearts -
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady...
I'm just waiting on a friend
