 I was walking,  just  about 3rd and St. Mark's
 But it ain't  the same as it was  the last time  I was here
 So I stood  there watching  the light as it changed
 Remember  that time in the rain  when we ran  through the streets?
 Yeah we're waiting  on something  good  to go down
 Just waiting  on something  good
 We're waiting  on something  good  to go down
 Just waiting  on something  good
 Something good
 Yeah baby something good
 Yeah baby something good
 Now Sally,  I used  to show up at her door
 But I  don't do that anymore,  she answers  my calls
 She says, "Baby,  well don't  you go breaking your back
 To buy  me the things that I lack,  'cause I will get  'em myself
 Yes and I  don't need nobody's  help
 Yes and I  love you just  the same,  if you ain't  got a dime  to your name"
 (chorus)
 On the counter  at the back  of the hotel bar
 And I was joining  the hotel choir, and  we were just  cutting  up
 Yeah but it was B.  Wright and the Tragedies  led the whole gang
We  all stood up and we sang  an old gospel  song,  yeah but we  didn't sing  very long
 (chorus)
