Well, I was sittin', waitin', wishin'
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 waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' 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 ever having you

Oh, 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 waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' 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 are shooting 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 it had 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 waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' your fool
No I can't always be waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' your fool
Fool, huhumm...
