Lyrics I'm Waiting for the Man (Mono Version) - The Velvet Underground

I'm waiting for my man

Got twenty-six dollars in my hand

Up to Lexington, 125

Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

I'm waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?

Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?

Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind

I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

Waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

He's never early, he's always late

First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

He's never early, he's always late

First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

I'm waiting for my man

Hey baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout

You know that I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out

I'm feeling good, feeling so fine

Until tomorrow but that's just some more time

I'm waiting for my man

Alright, I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man, oh you got it

I'm waiting for my man, you know

I'm waiting for my man, please baby
