Lyrics

Waiting In Vain

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 rest 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 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

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

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 knocking on your door

And I still can knock some more

Oh girl, oh girl, is it feasible?

I wanna know now, for I to knock some more

You 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

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 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

Makes me love that you running from

Its the love that I'm waiting vain

Makes me love that you running from

Its the love that I'm waiting vain

Makes me love that you running from
