Bob Marley & The Wailers
Waiting In Vain (Exodus 40 Mix)
[Verse 1]
From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart said follow-through
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
But the waitin' feel is fine
In life I know there's lots of grief
But your love is my relief
So did tears, tears in my eyes, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting for my turn, see

[Chorus]
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, I'm still waiting there

[Verse 2]
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
And I still can knock somе more
Cuckoo girl, cuckoo girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock somе more
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, see
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
What good is it to wait, to wait in vain? Wo-wo!
(I don't wanna wait in vain for your love)
Summer is here, I'm still waiting there
Winter is here, I'm still waiting there, yeah

[Verse 3]
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
And I still can knock some more
Cuckoo girl, cuckoo girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more
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, it's simple 'cause

[Chorus]
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
