We ll I was sitting, waiting, wishing
Yo u believed in su perstitions
Th en maybe you'd s een the signs
Th e Lord knows that this wo rld is cruel
an d ain't the Lord, I 'm just a fool
fa ll in love with somebody don't make
them love you
Must I always be waiting,
waiting on you
Must I always be playing,
playing your foo l
I sang your songs, I d anced your dance
I gave your friends al l a chance
Pu tting up with them wasn' t worth
never having yo u
oh maybe you've been throu gh this before
Bu t it's my first time so pl ease ignore
Th ese next few lines becau se
they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting,
waiting on you
I can't always be playing,
playing your foo l
I keep playing your part
But it's not my sce ne
Want this plot to twi st
I've had en ough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me do wn
But I'm already d own
Just wait a minute
Ju st sitting, waiting
Ju st 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 w onder why it had take n me so long
But the lo rd knows that I 'm not you
and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
ca use waitin' on love ain' t so easy to do
Must I always be waiting,
waiting on you
Must I always be playing,
playing your foo l
no I can't always be waiting,
waiting on you
I can't always be playing,
playing your foo l foo l
