Waiting In Vain Lyrics - Africa Unite

(by Bob Marley) 

1, 2, 3: 

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
