Lyrics

WHERE IS THE MAN?

Mama said to wait for Mister Right
And I've been waiting for most of my life,
And I've been patient for as long as I can,
And now I'm ready, ready, ready,
So WHERE IS THE MAN?

Mama says the guy is guaranteed
And I would hate to think Mom was lyin' to me.
But I've been searchin' far as I can see
And I am ready, ready, ready.
WHERE IS THE MAN?

Every night I pray to the Lord up above.
Every night I say, "Where have you hidden my love?"
Every night I dream that I found him and then,
Every day I wake up and I'm lonely again--

CHORUS: WHERE IS THE MAN?
WHERE IS THE MAN?
Is he somewhere for safe-keeping?
Is he sleeping?
WHERE IS THE MAN?

Is he tucked away in Tennessee,
Or does he ride some wave down in Waikiki?
Can I find his name in some directory?
I am ready, ready, ready,
But WHERE IS THE MAN?

How 'bout a sign? Tell me which way he went,
Or I'd be grateful for one little hint.
I won't be greedy. All I want is a chance.
I am ready, ready, ready.
WHERE IS THE MAN?

Every night...etc.

CHORUS
