I been waiting in the supermarket

Standing in line with the beans (cash up)

I been waiting at the post office

For sticky pictures of the queen (stick up)

And now I'm waiting for you

To get yourself good 'n ready (make up)

Thinking to myself is this what they mean

By going steady? (break up)

I been waiting in the waiting room

And I've been sitting in the sitting room

And now I'm whining in the dining room

Waiting for you's like waiting for the man in the moon



I was really smoldering

Seen the back of forty king size cigarettes (stood up)

This hanging on is murder

But if you'd just come along I'd have no regrets (give up)

And so I'd phone your number

And your mother tells me you're still in bed (get up)

When you come to the phone your voice is thick and sexy

Goes straight to my head (shut up)

And I been standing in the standing room

And I been smoking in the smoking room

And now I'm dying in the living room

I'm gonna forget what I came for here real soon



Your time's up and me too

I'm out on account of you



I was really burned out and smoldering

Seen the front and back of eighty king size cigarettes (stood up)

This hanging on is killing me

If you'd just creep along I'd have no regrets (give up)

And so I phone your grandmother

She says you're still in bed (get up)

When you get to the phone your voice is thick and sexy

Shoots through the top of my head (shut up)

I been standing in the standing room

I been smoking in the smoking room

Now I'm dying in the living room

I'm gonna forget what I came for here real soon



Your time's up
