Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 

You believed in superstitions 

Then maybe you'd see the signs 



The Lord knows that this world is cruel 

I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool 

Only lovin' 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 

But putting up with them 

Wasn't worth never having you 



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 

Then you 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'd it take me so long 



But the Lord knows that I'm not you 

And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel 

Cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do 



[Repeat *]



No, I can't I always keep waiting, waiting on you

I can't always be playing, playing your fool
