Waiting in Vain Songtext
von Gilberto Gil

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 blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through
But I know now that I′m way down on your line
And the waiting feel is fine
So 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?
Come, come, oh

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 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 knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feaseble?
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, oh come, come

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, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna wait in vain
