It'll be the same with your young wife
I told her, I'd be there at eight"
Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't mind
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
And I don't guess we've been anywhere
Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mind
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
Might as well go on and get used to it
And waitin' on a woman
Waitin' on a woman
He said, "Son since nineteen fifty-two
Waitin' on a woman"
I nodded, yeah and said, "How 'bout you"
The man's always the first to go
But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty
"And when I picked her up for our first date
I've read somewhere statistics show
She said, "I'm sorry that I took so long
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
And I get to the other side
Didn't like a thing that I tried on"
Waitin' on a woman
Waitin' on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
I've been waitin' on a woman"
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
He said the wedding took a year to plan
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
And said, "I'll say this 'bout the honeymoon, it was worth it
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
So when it finally comes my time
She hasn't made us late I swear
Boy, it's just a fact of life
"You waitin' on a woman?"
