WAITING IN VAIN
 
Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley)

 
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love (2x)

 
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
And the waiting 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?
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love (3x)
 
‘Cause 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
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feaseble?
I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
 
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...
