Got my hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
Believe to my soul I've got the hesitation blues
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
Well, I'm tanding on a corner with a dollar in my hand
Lookin' for a woman who's looking for a man
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
Yeah –
Now, a nickel is a nickel and a dime is a dime
I got a house full of kids, one of them must be mine
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
I ain't the doctor, I'm the doctor's son
But I can do the doctorin' 'till the doctor comes
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
Ain't never been to heaven, but I've been told
Old Saint Peter knows how to jelly roll
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
'Cause I ain't the doctor, I'm the doctor's son
But I can do the doctorin' 'till the doctor comes
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
Got my hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
Believe to my soul I've got the hesitation blues
And tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now? Oh no, must I hesitate?
