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
