Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you′d see the signs

But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I′m just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

Ah, maybe you′ve been through this before
But it′s my first time, so please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they′re directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can′t always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I′ve had enough mystery
Keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well, if I was in your position
I′d put down all my ammunition
I′d wonder why it had taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn′t be so cruel
'Cause waiting on love ain′t so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can′t always be playing, playing your fool, fool
