Bob Marley & The Wailers – Waiting in Vain

1, 2… 1, 2, 3…

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 blessed 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 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
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 – 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 my love that you’re running from.
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 my love that you’re running from.
