Waiting In Vain - Bob Marley & The Wailers

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 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.
