Waiting in Vain Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

Oh, we gon′ do one right now
Mr. Peter Mayor is gonna help us out on this
I named my son after Bob Marley
I gatta, I gat to do a song
Come on, let's go

This just feels right

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 placed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says, follow through

But now I know, now
That I'm way down on your line
But the waitin′ feel is fine
But don′t treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
And don't talk to me
As if you think I′m dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come


And, 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
Water winter is here
I′m still waiting there, oh

Now it′s been three years
Since I'm knockin′ on your door
And I still get down some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now
Am I to knock some more?

You know in life, there is so much grief
But your love is my relief
Oh, tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting (oh)
While I′m waiting for my turn
(Can you 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
'Cause if summer is here
I′m still waitin′ there
Oh, the winter is here
I'm still waiting there

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

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

′Cause if summer is here
Oh, the winter is here
I'm still waiting there

Hit it man
Yeah, man
