From the very first time I rest 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 - 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, 'Cause if summer is here, I'm still waiting there; Winter is here, And I'm still waiting there. --- [Guitar solo] --- 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. 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 me love that you're running from. It's Jah 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 me love that you're running from.
