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 love with 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 Or maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time, so please ignore The next few lines because 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 sitting and waiting Just sitting and waiting Just sitting and waiting Just sitting and waiting
Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my amuntintion 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 waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you? I can't always be playing, playing your fool?
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
