I was sit-ting wait-ing wish-ing
You be-lieved in su-per-sti-tions
Then may-be 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
Learn-ing lov-ing some-bo-dy
Don't make them love you
Must I al-ways be wait-ing
Wait-ing on you?
Must I al-ways be play-ing
Play-ing your fool?
I sang your songs. I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But put-ting up with them
Was-n't worth ne-ver hav-ing you
May-be you've been
Through this be-fore
But it's my first time
So please ig-nore
The next few lines
Be-cause they're di-rect-ed at you
I can't al-ways be wait-ing
Wait-ing on you
I can't al-ways be play-ing
Play-ing your fool
I keep play-ing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had e-nough mys-te-ry
You keep build-ing me up
But then you're shoot-ing me down
But I'm al-rea-dy down
Just wait a mi-nute
Just sit-ting wait-ing
Just wait a mi-nute
Just sit-ting wait-ing
Well if I was in your po-si-tion
I'd put down all my am-mu-ni-tion
I'd won-der why
It had tak-en me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I would-n't be so cruel
Wait-ing on love ain't so eas-y to do
Must I al-ways be wait-ing
Wait-ing on you?
Must I al-ways be play-ing
Play-ing your fool?
No I can't al-ways be wait-ing
Wait-ing on you
I can't al-ways be play-ing
Play-ing your fool, fool
