Waiting On A Friend
Friendship Tales: Unveiling the Essence of The Rolling Stones' Waiting On A Friend
Lyrics
Watching girls passing by, it ain't the latest thing
Observing girls passing by, not interested in the latest trends.
I'm just standing in a doorway
Standing in a doorway, possibly reflecting or contemplating.
I'm just trying to make some sense
Attempting to find meaning or understanding in the situation.
Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men
Reflecting on the stories told by the passing girls about men.
I'm not waiting on a lady
Not specifically waiting for a romantic partner (lady).
I'm just waiting on a friend
Waiting for a friend, not necessarily a romantic interest.
A smile relieves a heart that grieves, remember what I said
Highlighting the positive impact of a smile on a grieving heart.
I'm not waiting on a lady
Reiterating the lack of anticipation for a romantic partner.
I'm just waiting on a friend
Still waiting for a friend, emphasizing companionship.
I'm just waiting on a friend
Repeating the anticipation of waiting for a friend.
Just waiting on a friend
Emphasizing the act of waiting for a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend
Repeating the theme of waiting for a friend, underscoring its importance.
I'm just waiting on a friend
-I'm just waiting on a friend
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Expressing emotions through vocalizations (ooh, yeah).
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
-Don't need a whore
Rejecting the need for material or superficial things like a prostitute.
I don't need no booze
Rejecting the need for alcohol or intoxication.
Don't need a virgin priest
Rejecting traditional or religious figures for solace.
But I need some one I can cry to
Expressing the need for someone to confide in and share emotions.
I need someone to protect
Desiring someone who provides protection and support.
Ooh, making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth
Acknowledging the risky and playful nature of love and heartbreak, often associated with youth.
But I'm not waiting on a lady
Reaffirming the focus on waiting for a friend rather than a romantic partner.
I'm just waiting on a friend
Repeating the theme of waiting for a friend, emphasizing its significance.
I'm just waiting on a friend
-Just waiting on a friend
-Waiting on a friend
Stating explicitly that the wait is for a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend
Continuing to wait for a friend, reinforcing the central theme.
I'm just waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Expressing emotions through vocalizations (ooh, yeah).
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
