Sitting, Waiting, Wishing lyrics
by Jack Johnson



Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing

You believed in superstitions

Then maybe you'd see the signs



The Lord knows that this world is cruel

I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool

Learning lovin' 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

But putting up with them

Wasn't worth never 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 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

Then you 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'd it taken me so long



But the Lord knows that I'm not you

And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel

Cause waitin' on love is so easy to do



Must I always be waiting, waiting on you

Must I always be playing, playing your fool



No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you

I can't always be playing, playing your fool
