Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing [Live] Lyrics

Now I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe 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
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

I sing ya songs, I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Oh baby, 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 waiting, waiting on you, yeah
No, I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Keep playing your cards but it's not my scene
Won't this plot not twist? I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up but you're shooting me down
But I'm already down, just wait a minute
Just sit and wait it, just wait a minute, just sit and wait it

If I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
'Cause Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
'Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing the fool?
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
No, I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
