Waiting In Vain

waiting  in  vain-bob  marley  &  the  wailers

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  t'rough.

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  -  seen.

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  -
