歌词
[Intro]
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[Verse 1]
From the very first time I place 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 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause if summer is here
I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
And I'm still waiting there
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
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
[Outro]
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)
It's me love that you're running from (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)
It's me love that you're running from (I don't wanna wait in vain)
Oh
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
