Waiting for Roxanne by 4 Out of 5 Doctors Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Waiting for Roxanne
Waiting for Roxanne
I could write a book
For all the time it took
Waiting for Roxanne
Waiting for Roxanne

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Waiting for Roxanne
Waiting for Roxanne
There is no measurement
For all the time I've spent
Waiting for Roxanne
Waiting for Roxanne
[Outro]
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
