Well I was sittin', waitin', wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
The Lord knows that this world is cruel
and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning 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
Aw, 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 then shootin' me down
But I'm already down just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
Just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
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 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
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool fool
