Paradis, Vanessa Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Just As Long As You Are There

(Reed)

 I'm waiting for my man

 Twenty-six dollars in my hand

 Up to Lexington, 125

 Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

 I'm waiting for my man

 Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?

 Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?

 Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind

 I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine

 I'm waiting for my man

 Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

 Beat up 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

 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

 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
