Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Jack Johnson

Well, I was sittin', waitin', wishin'
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is crueland
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a foollearning loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' your fool
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But 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
The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mysteryyou keep building it upbut then you are shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
Just wait a minute
Just sittin', waitin'
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 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
Must I always be waitin', waitin' on you
Must I always be playin', playin' your fool
No I can't always be waitin', waitin' on you
I can't always be playin', playin' your fool
Fool, huhumm...
