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
Ive been waitin on a woman
And when I picked her up for our first date
I told her, Id be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said, Im sorry that I took so long
Didnt like a thing that I tried on
But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty
Yeah, shell take her time but I dont mind
Waitin on a woman
He said the weddin took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
And waitin on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, Ill say this bout the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin on a woman
And I dont guess weve been anywhere
She hasnt made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it
Boy, its just a fact of life
Itll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
Shell take her time cause you dont mind
Waitin on a woman
Ive read somewhere statistics show
The mans always the first to go
And that makes sense cause I know she wont be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
Ill find myself a bench, if theyve got any
I hope she takes her time, cause I dont mind
Waitin on a woman
Honey, take your time, cause I dont mind
Waitin on a woman
