Story Behind the Song
Waiting for John Stranzl's friend Mary was the inspiration.
Elvis and Johnnie Cash were inspiring.
Structure - 20-bar blues with an intro
Lyrics
Sittin' here waitin' for Mary
Waitin' for the time to come
Sittin' here a-waitin'
and I'm just anticipatin'
and I'm feelin' kinda awful dumb
I got a little bit
little bit of love in my heart
and it's tearin' me apart
I got a little bit
little bit of love in my heart
little bit of kissin',
little bit of squeezin',
little bit of lovin'll
tear my heart apart.
Sittin' here a-waitin' for phone calls
Feelin' like a bear in a trap
Thought I was in clover
when she said, I'm comin' over,
now I wonder if she's callin' me back.
I got a little bit,
little bit of time on my hands,
I'd like to be makin' plans,
I got a little bit,
little bit of love in my heart,
little bit of kissin',
little bit of squeezin',
little bit of lovin'll
tear my heart apart.
Sittin' here a-waitin' for Mary
Feelin' like a overload
Feelin' like I'm done in,
done with runnin',
but I know I gotta run the road.
I got a little bit
little bit of love in my heart
and it's tearin' me apart
I got a little bit
little bit of love in my heart
little bit of kissin',
little bit of squeezin',
little bit of lovin'll
tear my heart apart.
