I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (2x)
From the very first time i blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says "follow through"
But i know that i'm way down on your line
And 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 (3x)
'Cause summer is here
I'm still waiting here
Winter is here
And i'm still waiting here
Like i said
It's been three years since i'm knocking on your door
And i still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feaseble?
I wanna know now
For i to knock some more
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
I don't wanna waiting in vain for your love
