You believed in superstitions

I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
F F7 C
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you
E Am Am7 Am Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
E Am Am7 Am Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
Am Am7
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
G G7
I gave your friends all a chance
F
But putting up with them
F7 C C7
Wasn't worth never having you
Am Am7
Maybe you've been through this before
G G7
But it's my first time so please ignore

The next few lines cause they're directed at you

Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting

I'd put down all my ammunition

I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long
Am Am7
But Lord knows that I'm not you

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

Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do
