waiting in vain-bob marley & the wailers
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 placed my eyes on you, girl,
my heart says follow t'rough.
but i know, now, that i'm way down on your line,
but the waitin' feel is fine:
so don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'cause i know i have to do my thing.
don't talk to me as if you think i'm dumb;
i wanna know when you're gonna come - seen.
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 if 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 knockin' on your door,
and i still can knock some more:
ooh girl, ooh 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.
no, i don't wanna (i don't wanna - i don't wanna - i don't wanna -
i don't wanna - i don't wanna wait in vain) -
no i - no i (i don't wanna - i don't wanna - i don't wanna - i don't
wanna - i don't wanna wait in vain) -
no, no-no, i, no, i (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 (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 me love that you're running from.
it's jah love that i'm waiting on (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 me love that you're running from.
