I’m Waiting for the Man Lou Reed Live
[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for my man
Got twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feelin' sick and dirty
Huh, I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 2]
Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' my women around?
Pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man, come on

[Verse 3]
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you and nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 5]
Hey baby, don't you holler, don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, feeling so fine
Till tomorrow, but we'll spend some other time
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
Man-man-man-man-man-man-man
