Sitting, waiting, wishing

Jack Johnson

Acoustic karaoke and lyrics

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Jack Johnson

Well 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 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

Ah, 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'd it 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, hmm, hmm
