Now I was sitting, waiting, wishing
That 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.
And 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
You 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'd it 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 the fool?
No I can't always be waiting,
Waiting on you,
I can't always be playing,
Playing your fool, fool
