Waitin' on a woman Songtext / Lyric

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 1952, 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
And 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 go 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
