Waiting For Roxanne - 4 Out of 5 Doctors

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…
