Well, I was sitting, waiting, wishing 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 And in 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 ever 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, 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 they're taking 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 your fool? No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool Fool
