Am F
Watchin' girls go passing by
G C
It ain't the latest thing

I'm just standin' in a doorway

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

A smile relieves a heart that grieves,
G C
remember what I said.

I'm just waiting on a friend.

Don't need a whore, don't need now booze,

I'm just waiting on a friend.
