I didn't know when I was going to introduce him, but I'll introduce him now. We're gonna have a really cool saxophone player join us up here called Josh Redman. He's gonna be out in a minute any way
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
[Chorus]
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
[Saxophone Solo 1]
{Bridge}
Don't need a whore
I don't need no food
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I'm making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
[Saxophone Solo 2]
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
