Song lyrics

Send "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" ringtones to your cell

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 
You believed in superstitions 
Then maybe you'd see the signs 

The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool 
Learning lovin' 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 

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 
Then 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 waitin' on love aint so easy to do 

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 

No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

485 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Aww yeah! Jack Johnson concert - August 14th! EXCITED! Last year we got there 6 hours before and we met Jack and got pictures and got front row seats (or standings..) Jack Johnson is still the best but he's got alot more 'pop' than how he used to be... I guess you'd call it mainstream. Either way, great CD. Only song that isn't awesome is Staple it Together. Could be just me.

16 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal if you're expecting anything more than mellow, acoustic pop songs then don't wet your pants over this album - or any other JJ album. He offers more songwriting talent and a few tracks that i guaruntee will have you lappin up the salt water when you hear 'em (no JJ song comes without a picture perfect ocean scene attatched to its melodies). This album dissapoints on the originality level so we're going to have to wait another year or two to see what Jack can do with in terms of altering his sound in any way. Is six album'soundtracks of the same old acoustic dribble (harsh, but honest) enough to keep up with the new wave of ocean inspired artists like Dios Marlos? I think not. Until Jack comes up with something new he doesn't deserve all this praise
