And I've been waiting and waiting girl
And I've been waiting for so long
I seen her show the leg
I've seen her drink the wine
I've seen her smile back
It's almost every time
A patient man can wait
Sometimes as much as years
You're not the only one who doesn't sleep alone here
No I never sleep alone here
No I do not sleep alone
Well I had gone astray
And I had covered tracks
And she had gone away
But she come right back
A patient man can wait
At least a lifetime
So when you're ready woman
Tell me it's the right time
Won't you tell me it's the right time?
Cause I've been waiting and waiting girl
And I've been waiting and waiting girl
And I've been waiting for so long
No I do not sleep alone
But I've been waiting and waiting girl
And I've been waiting and waiting girl
And I've been waiting for so long
