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
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 gon' 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
