B
I'm waiting for a woman who just went
inside that store
I must have stood here waiting for her
a hundred times and more
You're waiting for a woman too,
I've seen you here before
Or someone looking like you or your double,
I am sure

     A
I'd wait for her in Heaven
     E
I'd wait for her in Hell
F#
Even wait forever
     E                       B
I'm her lover, can't you tell?

Chorus:
E
Give 'em up, give 'em up, give 'em away
     B
Then we could spend more money, save
a fortune every day
E
Fancy shoes, something new makes you feel good
     F#
Why can't you look the other way?
  E                  B
I only wish you could

I'm waiting at the station like I've often
done before
She probably missed her train again, was
in another store
I see another lover as I did the time before
Maybe he does every time, it's just the way,
I'm sure

She'd give me all her loving
I'd give her all of mine
But still, she drives me crazy
Keeps me waiting all the time

Chorus

I never mind the waiting at the station or
the store
'Cause even if the tables turned, she'd wait
for me, I'm sure
I know she'd wait forever, wait for me forevermore
Even if a better deal came knocking at the door

She'd wait for me in heaven
She'd wait for me in hell
We'd both wait here together
'Cause we're lovers, can't you tell?

Chorus:
Give 'em up, give 'em up, sale on the way
Then we could save a fortune, spend more money
every day
Fancy shoes, something new makes you feel good
Why can't we look the other way?
I only wish we could
Why can't we look the other way? If only we could

If only we could
If only we could
