Rolling Stones: Waiting On A Friend

Waiting On A Friend från Tatoo You är kanske inte en av Rollings Stones allra största hits, men en av de som har betytt allra mest för mig. Särskilt tillsammans med orignalvideon här under. Låten spelades ursprungligen in 1972 men gavs ut först 1981, när världen var mogen för den får man ana.

Watching girls go passing by

It aint the latest thing

Im just standing in a doorway

Im just trying to make some sense

Out of these girls go passing by

The tales they tell of men

Im not waiting on a lady

Im just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves a heart that grieves

Remember what I said

Im not waiting on a lady

Im just waiting on a friend

Im just waiting on a friend

Dont need a whore

I dont need no booze

Dont need a virgin priest

But I need someone I can cry to

I need someone to protect

Making love and breaking hearts

It is a game for youth

But Im not waiting on a lady

Im just waiting on a friend
