Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

/ Am Am7 / G G7 / F F7 C C7 / :

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool
and in love with somebody don't make them love you

{refrain}
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

/ E - - - Am Am7 Am Am7 / :

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth ever having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
These next few lines because they're directed at you

{as refrain}
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool


[[ over a couple of verses ]]
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 the Lord 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

{refrain}
