I'm Waiting For The Man (Version 1 / Live)

"Good evening,we're your local Velvet Underground.

Glad to see you...

We're particularly gladon a serious day like today,

that people could find it - The Time -

to come out and have some fun with some ROCK & ROLL.

"Because these are serious times.

Or i've been told that.

And since they're serious

we felt impelled to do a very serious set...

I don't want any of you to enjoy the songs frivolously.

Because it'll run against national policy.

"Which rhymes by the way.

This is the way poets are."

I'm waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Up to Lexington, 1-2-5

Feelin' 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' no women around

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

I'm just lookin' for a dear-dear friend of mine

I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

PR 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,ah

I'm waiting for my man,ah

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone,up three flights of stairs

Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares

He's got the works, gives you sweet taste

Ah, then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darling don't you ball and shout

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

I'm feeling good, feelin' so fine

Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man
