I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
From the ver-y first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says fol-low t’rough
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line
But the wait-ing feel is fine
So don’t treat me like a pup-pet on a string
Cause I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wan-na know when your gon-na come,
See, I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
Cause if sum-mer is here, I’m still wait-ing there
Wint-er is here, and I’m still wait-ing there
Like I said
It’s been three years since I’m knock-in’ on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl is it fea-si-ble?
I wan-na know now, for I to knock some more
Ya see, in life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my re-lief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I’m wait-ing, while I’m wait-ing for my turn.
See, I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
Cause if sum-mer is here I’m still wait-ing there
Wint-er is here and I’m still wait-ing there
Like I said, I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
I don’t wan-na wait in vain for your love
Oh I dont wan-na I dont wan-na I dont wan-na I dont wan-na
I don’t wan-na wait in vain. No,
I dont wan-na I dont wan-na, I don’t wan-na, I dont wan-na
I don’t wan-na wait in vain
It’s your love that I’m wait-ing on
It’s me love that your run-ning from
It’s your love that I’m wait-ing on
It’s me love that your run-ning from
