Bridge:
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love

Verse 1:

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you girl
My heart said follow through
But I know now that Im way down on your line
But the waiting feel is fine
So dont treat me like a puppet on a string
Cause I know I could do my thing
Dont talk to me as if you think Im dumb
I wanna know when youre gonna come….see

Bridge:

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love

Chorus
Cause if summers here

Im still waiting there

Winters here

And Im still waiting there

Verse 2:

Like I said…Its been 3 years since Im knocking 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 theres lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While Im waiting, while Im waiting for my turn

Bridge:

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love
I dont wanna wait in vain for your love, oh

Outro:
I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna
I dont wanna wait in vain
I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna
I dont wanna wait in vain (no I)
I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna
I dont wanna wait in vain (no no no I)
I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna
I dont wanna wait in vain, oh

I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna, I dont wanna
I dont wanna wait in vain
Its your love that Im waiting on
Its my love that youre running from
Its your love that Im waiting on
Its my love that youre running from
