Watch ing girls go pass ing by,
it ain’t the lat est thing.
I’m just stand ing in the door way.
I’m just try’n’ to make some sense.
Out of these girls a pass ing by,
the tales they tell of men.
But I’m not wait ing on a la dy,
I’m just wait ing on a friend.
Mm
A smile re lieves a heart that grieves,
re mem ber what I said.
But I’m not wait ing on a la dy,
I’m just wait ing on a friend.
Mm
I’m just wait ing on a (C)friend,
just wait ing on a (C)friend.
I’m just wait ing on a (C)friend,
I’m just wait ing on a (C)friend,
just wait ing on a (C)friend.
