We ll I was sitting, waiting, wishing
Yo u believed in su perstitions
Then maybe you'd seen the signs
Th e Lord knows that this wo rld is cruel
an d ain't the Lord, I 'm just a fool
fall in love with somebody don't make
them love you
Must I a lways be wa iting,
waiting on you
Must I a lways be pl aying,
playing your foo l
I sang your songs, I d anced your dance
I gave your friends al l a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth
never having you
oh maybe you've been throu gh this before
Bu t it's my first time so pl ease ignore
These next few lines because
they're directed at you
I can't always be w aiting,
waiting on you
I can't always be p laying,
playing your foo l
I keep playing your par t
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twi st
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it u p
Then shooting me down
But I'm already d own
Just wait a minute
Ju st sitting, waiting
Just wait a minu te
Ju st sitting, waiting
Well if I was in your p osition
I'd p ut down all my a muntintion
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But the lo rd 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 a lways be wa iting,
waiting on you
Must I a lways be pl aying,
playing your foo l
no I can't alw ays be wait ing,
waiting on you
I can't a lways be pl aying,
playing your foo l foo l
