A letra:
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 through
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 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
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
'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, no
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 wait in vain
No no no, I, no I (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
