Lyrics - Waiting on a Friend by Rolling Stones

(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
