Lyrics:

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 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 a heart that grieves,
Remember what I said,
I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend,
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,
Making love and breaking hearts,
It is a game for youth,
But I'm not waiting on a lady,
I'm just waiting on a friend.
