WAITING IN VAIN Lyrics

[Bob Marley]  [Advert mix]

            Holy priests, warriors and traitors, be still for Jah live!
            I don't want to 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.
            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 waiting 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.

            Like I said:
            It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
            And I still can knock some more:
            Oo-ooh girl, oo-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, oh!
            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 (I don't wanna - I don't wanna) - no, I (I don't wanna - I don't
               wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
            No, no-no, I-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.  Oh!
            I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
               I don't wanna wait in vain -      /fadeout/
