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