JACK JOHNSON LYRICS - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

"Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"



Now I was sitting waiting wishing

That 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 sing ya songs I dance a dance

I gave ya friends all a chance

Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

And maybe you 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

Wont this plot not twist?

I've had enough mystery.

Keep building me up, then shooting me down

Well 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 wondered 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
