 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 - soon.

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,

Bridge

 'cause if summer is here,

 I'm still waiting there;

 Winter is here,

 And I'm still waiting there.

 (Same progression )

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,

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 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.

It's your love that I'm waiting on

It's my love that you're running from.
