   Am                F
   Watchin' girls go passing by

   It ain't the latest thing
   G                   C
   I'm just standin' in a doorway
   G                       C
   I'm just trying to make some sense

   Am                F
   Out of these girls  passing by,
   G                C
   the tales they tell of men
   G                       C
   I'm not waiting on a lady
   G                          C
   I'm just waiting on a friend

   Am                F
   A smile relieves a heart that grieves,
   G             C
   remember what I said.
   G                       C
   I'm not waiting on a lady,
   G                         C
   I'm just waiting on a friend.

   Don't need a whore, don't need now booze,
   G                C
   don't need a virgin priest.

   G                      C
   I need someone to protect.

   Am                 F
   Ooh, making love and breaking hearts,
   G                    C
    It is a game for youth.
    G                          C
    But I'm not waiting on a lady,
    G                          C
    I'm just waiting on a friend.
