Watching girls go passing by 
-4  -4    5  -5 -3    5  
It ain't the latest thing 
-4   5    -5  6   -6 -7  6  6
I'm just standing in a doorway

I'm just trying to make some sense

Out of these girls 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
