Watching girls 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 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 Just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Don't need a whore I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need some one I can cry to I need someone to protect Ooh, 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 I'm just waiting on a friend Just waiting on a friend Waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
