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
