Waiting In Vain

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

From the very first time I've blessed my eyes on you, girl

My heart says: Follow through

But I know now that I'm way down on your line

But the waiting feel is fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string

'Cause I know how to do my thing

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb

I wanna know when you're gonna come

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

'Cause the summer is here

I'm still waiting there

Winter is here

And I'm still waiting there

Like I said

It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door

And I still can knock some more

Uh, girl, uh, girl

Is it feasible? I wanna know now

For I to knock some more

Ya see

In life, I know, there's lots of grief

But your love is my relief

Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting

For my turn

See

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain

It's your love that I'm waiting on

It's my love that you're running from

It's your love that I'm waiting on

It's my love that you're running from
