Waiting on a Friend (Live 1981)

[Instrumental Intro]

[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

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

[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]

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

Waiting on a friend

Waiting on a friend

[Audience Applause]
