Waiting
Waiting for someone to pick you
 You are waiting for someone to change your life
 No longer wanting to rise with the tortilla star
 
 You are beautiful
 Like a falling star
 You are dressed in velvet high-heels 
 Eyes painted like Cleopatra
 Waiting under the street lights for someone
 Someone to pick you, someone to change your life
 
 Someone will pick you
 A marshmallow salesman or a no name
 You will take him all the same
 
 But he won’t change your life
 
 You belong to Mango Street
 You will always belong to Mango Street
 You can’t escape
