Sitting Waiting Wishing lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: In Between Dreams

Lyrics

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

Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the lord I'm just a fool
Learning lovin somebody don't make them love you

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

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends, all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

Oh, 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

Chorus
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Bridge
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down

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 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

Repeat chorus
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
