Waiting For Me

(album: Edie Brickell - 2011)

You call me up on a Saturday night
Half intoxicated with a crazy bunch of guys
Say you're at a party and I really ought to come
Then you hold the phone up so that I can hear the hot drumbeat

If you're waiting for me
If you're waiting for me
You'll be waiting for a long time

I don't wanna leave out all the fun and happiness
I don't wanna walk away from love and tenderness
I'll be on the sofa watching rated videos
I'll be getting closer to the one who satisfies my soul

If you're waiting for me
If you're waiting for me
You'll be waiting for a long time

I have love
And it changed my ways
Things will never
Be the same
Oh

It isn't like I'm missing out on anything tonight
Happy as can be, I got my babies by my side
One day I will turn around and they will all be grown
Then they will be going out and won't be staying home with me

If you're waiting for me
If you're waiting for me
You'll be waiting for a long time

I have love
And it changed my ways
Things will never
Be the same
Oh
