Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

It's just unfair. There she thought that she was the only person in the world who had ever gone through that particular emotional roller-coaster, however she had missed the fact that there was quite a line growing behind her and that the ride was already going while she was still waiting on the safe, hard ground.

The unfairness that this particular hormonally challenged teenager was referring to was the fact that somebody else had already found the perfect words to describe the feelings she was having. It didn't help that they happened to match it to a good tune and then made money out of it, either.

But there she went, for the umpteenth time that day, and reached for her iPod, scrolling through her list til she found it again. The words flowed easily from her sore heart:

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 its my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But its not my scene
Wont this plot not twist?
I've had enough mystery.
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
Id 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 cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
