 Intro
 I used  to be content  to frown
 But anything  for money  now
 I'd rather  be a mannish  kind of girl
 I used  to get drunk on Spanish  wine
 Well, now  I'm drunk most all  the time
 I guess  I've been to grateful  for too long
 *chorus*
 So I sit around and wait
 And watch the grass grow green
 And count the cars
 
 Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
 So I wait,  hey  hey
 Yes I wait,  hey  hey
 same*
 Well I had a girl in London town
 She picked me up and spun me round
 I guess she was a mannish kind of girl
 I went away and I still don't know why
 Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies
 I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
 same*
 So I sit around and wait
 And watch the grass grow green
 And count the cars
 Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
 So I wait, hey hey
 So I wait, hey hey, hey hey
 same*
 I used to be too big too crawl
 Now I don't give a damn at all
 I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
 Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine
 But now I'm drunk most all the time
 I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
 same - keep repeating D A Em7 G over extra lines*
 And so I sit around and wait
 And watch the grass grow green
 And count the cars
 Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
 So I wait, hey hey
 Yeah I wait, hey hey
 Yes I wait, hey hey
 Yeah I wait, hey hey, hey hey
