Feeling breezy on a Saturday night, I call my baby on the phone
Say Hey, Darling, how you feeling tonight? [you know what I mean], but all I get is dial tone

Say Hey Baby—what did I do? That’s got you hung up—and leaves me blue?
You know I love you, what can I say? I think I told you jus’ the other day…
Why should it matter, three little words. I can’t believe that you’d be so disturbed,
... at my omission…

Home alone on a Saturday night. How did I get to this place?
I hop into my car and drive to her, let her tell me face to face [and you know

I’m just waiting on the world to change
Your one-track mind driving me insane
Yeah, I’m just waiting on the world to change, Boy ..
I’m just waiting on you.

A week goes by, another Saturday night. I give the flower shop a call
A dozen roses ought to make things right, I prepare to have a ball

Say Hey Baby, these stems for you, so let me come inside, and stay a few
What you mean I don’t get it? I do so got a clue! I brought you flowers, what more should I do? Now don’t go crying, don’t have a fit, I can’t believe that you’d get so upset,
… at my commission

Home alone, another Saturday night. Why won’t my baby pay to play?
I call her up and she picks up the phone, and this is what she has to say

I’m just waiting on the world to change
Cro-Magnon culture driving me insane
Yeah, I’m just waiting on the world to change, Boy
Now I’m just waiting on you.

Feeling thoughtful on a Thursday night, I call my baby on the phone
Say Hey Darling, how you doing tonight? She starts to talking up a storm.

Hear ‘bout Jessie, hear ‘bout Ray, hear about her boss at work, and her crappy day.
You know I love you? What did I say? I thought I was listening … oh, so that’s okay?
I think I get it … you think so, too? Yeah, Baby, c’mon over, and stay a few
… It’s my new mission

She’s been waiting on the world to change,
Somebody heard her and he called her name
Yeah, but she’s still waiting on the world to change, Boy
… Yeah, she’s just waiting on you
