“Waiting in Vain” Lyrics
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I’m way down on your line
But the waiting feeling’s fineSo don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
Because 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 gotta come, you seeI 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 summer is here – and I’m still waiting there
Winter is here – and I’m still waiting thereLike I said –
It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy – is it crazy look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
You seeIn life I know that there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waitin’
While I’m waitin’ for my turn
You seeI 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‘Cause summer is here – and I’m still waiting there
Winter is here – and I’m still waiting thereLike I said –
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 vainIt’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy – is it crazy look, I wanna know nowLike I said –
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting
While I’m waiting for my turn
You see
Ooh boy, ooh boy – is it crazy look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
