From my Japanese pressing of The Velvet Underground & Nico:

Waiting for the Man:
"Hey white boy, what're you doing uptown
Hey white boy, you chase no women around
Whoop on me, sir, it spins from my mind
I'm just looking for two different of mine..."

Run Run Run:

"Don't take a walk, you need a square" for the "Union Square" line

And the glorious "More you need a passion/they had to get her fixed" 
for "had to get her fix."

"The Black Angel's Death Song" seems to have made them just give 
up--a string of Japanese characters under the title.
