| I comb my hair, put on my suit
|
| I polish up my birthday boots
|
| (She'd better show up)
|
| The temperature is 93
|
| You’d think she’d have the courtesy
|
| (She'd better show up)
|
| I am not made for this kind of waiting around
|
| She is with the business world
|
| And she’s a pretty busy girl
|
| Maybe she is working overtime
|
| I don’t know.
|
| I call for time and set the clocks
|
| I pull the lint off all my socks
|
| (She'd better show up)
|
| I read another magazine
|
| I stare into the TV screen
|
| (She'd better show up)
|
| I am a convict caught up in her weird sense of time
|
| Maybe traffic’s all backed up
|
| Maybe burglars have beat her up
|
| All I know is that I’m stuck, stuck, stuck
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| I could write a book, for all the time it took
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| 8: 30 — I was climbin' the walls
|
| 9: 30 — She didn’t bother to call
|
| 10: 30 — I was pacing the floor
|
| 11: 30 — I get a knock on the door
|
| She’s got those Bambi eyes
|
| Making me butter inside
|
| She tells me sit down, relax
|
| She’s got to go and change her slacks
|
| All I know is that I’m back, back, back
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| There is no measurement for all the time I’ve spent
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| She’d better show up, she’d better show up
|
| She’d better show up, she’d better show up
|
| She is not always on time
|
| A stronger man might lose his mind
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| Waiting For Roxanne, Waiting For Roxanne
|
| She’d better show up, she’d better show up… |
