Sitting, Waiting, Wishing Lyrics By 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

    refrain
    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 hm hm
