Waiting On A Friend

(m. jagger/k. richards)

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
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
I'm just waiting on a friend

Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But i need someone i can cry to
I need someone to protect
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
