Waiting In Vain

Bob Marley & The Wailers

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
