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 the 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.
