I`ve spent too much time waiting for you in vain
I can`t hear your voice although I call your name
I can`t go on but I still hang on just the same

I`ve spent endless nights crying your name out loud
But I still remain alone in an empty crowd
As time goes on I realize you`ll never change

I say a prayer I count the hours
I hear a voice but it`s not yours I count the score
I can`t go on playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I`ll be there just call my name
Until then I`ll be playing the waiting game

All you left me was emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You`ve gone but I`m still playing the waiting game

I`ve waited too long wishing my life away
Convincing myself tomorrow you`d change your ways
I can`t go on but I still hang on just the same

I say a prayer I count the hours
I hear a voice but it`s not yours I count the score
I can`t go on playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I`ll be there just call my name
Until then I`ll be playing the waiting game

All you left me was emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You`ve gone but I`m still playing the waiting game

I`ve waited far too long for
You to change your ways
Playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I`ll be there just call my name
Until then I`ll be playing the waiting game

All you left me was emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You`ve gone but I`m still playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I`ll be there just call my name
Until then I`ll be playing the waiting game

All you left me was emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You`ve gone but I`m still playing the waiting game
