I’m Waiting for the Man (demo)

I'm waiting for my man take one

[Verse 1: Lou Reed / John Cale]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

[Verse 2: John Cale]
Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

[Verse 2: Lou Reed / John Cale]
I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man take two

[Verse 1: Lou Reed / John Cale]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

[Verse 2: John Cale]
Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

[Verse 2: Lou Reed / John Cale]
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 3: Lou Reed / John Cale]
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 you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

[Harmonica solo]
[Viola solo]

[Verse 4: Lou Reed / John Cale]
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

[Verse 5: Lou Reed]
Baby don't you holler--

I'm waiting for my man take three

[Verse 1: Lou Reed / John Cale]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

[Verse 2: John Cale]
Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

[Verse 2: Lou Reed / John Cale]

[Verse 5]
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
