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

and in love with 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 ever having you

Maybe you've been through this before

But it's my first time so please ignore

These next few lines because 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 part to twist

I've had enough mystery

Keep building it up

Then 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 amuntintion

I'd wonder why it had taken 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

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you

Must I always be playing, playing your fool
