Well 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 no I'm just a fool
And a 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 sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Aw, 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 waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
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
But then you're 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 waiting on love ain't so easy to do
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
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
And a 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 sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Aw, 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 waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
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
But then you're 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 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 waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?

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

then maybe you would see the hints and signs I lay out for you to see... aka my signs of love and affection.. but hey this world is evil... i'm not god-( or a higher person) who knows everything nor am i a fool... therefore i learned that loving someone does not make them love you back... basically just because i love you does not mean you see or acknowledge me...Should i even wait around any longer? should i allow you to make a fool of me....i tried my best i played how you want me to play i was friends with your friends but putting up with you and them... maybe you do this allot to people if so then these words are directed at by everyone who would ever date you...I CANT DO THIS i cannot have you treating me the way you do...i want this story to change because the road its going on has yet to change and its all the same.... you keep pulling me in and i'm infatuated by you.. then when you have me you throw me away...right now i'm down thinking that i am sooo close to leaving you and yet i find myself waiting..!!! i cannot get away.
if i was you id stop and realize what i am giving you!
but no... i am not you and nor am i god but if i was you i would stop hurting people. because waiting for love to be returned is hard and it hurts you feel like your getting eaten... should i wait..... should i be your toy... ( the author has cycled back..... maybe jacks friend has told him how this girl treats him, each time the friend says i'm leaving her!... maybe he does but in the end he circles right back into her trap.)-authors note ~funny i feel the same way about a girl who has dumped me twice times and each time she contacted me and lured me in again.... I think ill break up with her because right now i feel like she's playing me for a fool.... Yet i feel i don't have the strength. I guess i'm sitting waiting wishing she would return something....i think im addicted to the rejection.... but boy it hurts right now and my mind is consumed by it... feels good to write it down even though i would never tell anyone... when i heard this song my body choked up and i just realized how it was mirroring my situation...
"...i learned that loving someone does not make them love you back..."
"...because waiting for love to be returned is hard..."
Be well!

For all of you who feel this way right now I suggest you do the same and move on! Because if its meant to be then it wouldn't be so hard. Love should be smooth and easy for you to revel in it. It can be hard to get over him/her but remember about 98% of people have this feeling atleast once in their entire lifetime! So lick your wounds and walk away! =)
Idk why but it just puts me in a good mood
I keep playing your part
But it’s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I’ve had enough mystery
You keep building it up
But then you’re shooting me down
But I’m already down
Just wait a minute
Perfectly said.
