Well I'm waiting standing on the corner

And it's coming fourty past the hour

In the midnight lonely freezing hour

With my insides churning in the gutter And I'm waiting fourty past midnight

Catching rain in the soda light

Won't you come & call me to your window

Please don't leave me waiting on the corner We could have the best time if you lighten up your life

With my pockets holey in the inside

With my bus ride rolling in the gutter

But if you would only light your lamp light

Then I would be here than any other Well I'm waiting fourty past midnight

Catching cold in the pouring rain

Won't you come & take me to your door

So I can take myself home again We could have the best time if you lighten up your life When I'm waiting standing on the corner

And the soda light begins to flicker

And it's getting fourty past the hour

And I think I won't see what I figure

Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside

Staring up at your window pane

If you won't come see me this evening

I can see myself here again We could have the best days if you lighten up your life

We could have the best time if you lighten up your life
