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
