Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing

You believed in superstitions

Then maybe you'd see the signs Lord knows that this world is cruel

And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool

And a 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 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 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

Because 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
