Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
I'd put down all my ammunition
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
But then you're shooting me down
Publisher: BUBBLE TOES PUBLISHING
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I gave your friends all a chance
Keep building it up
Well if I was in your position
And a loving somebody don't make them love you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
You believed in superstitions
Because waiting on love ain't so easy to do
I keep playing your part
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But it's not my scene
Just wait a minute
But it's my first time so please ignore
Then maybe you'd see the signs
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Just sitting, waiting
Lord knows that this world is cruel
I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
But Lord knows that I'm not you
Aw, maybe you've been through this before
Want this plot to twist
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
Just sitting, waiting
Songwriter: Jack Johnson
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
I've had enough mystery
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
