Waiting in Vain Lyrics

From the very first time when I risked my eyes on you, girl
Yeah, my heart says, "Follow through"
And 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
Yeah, I know how to do my thing
Don't you talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come

You see, I don't want to wait in vain for your love
Yeah, I don't want to wait in vain
I don't want to wait in vain for your love

You know, winter is here and I'm still waiting there
Summer is here and I'm still waiting there

Like I said now
It's been three years, yes, since I'm knocking at your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh, girl, ooh, girl
Yeah, is it feasiblе, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more?

You see, in life I know thеre's lots of grief
And your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
Yeah, I'm waiting here for my turn
You see, I don't want to wait in vain for your love
I don't want to wait in vain
I don't want to wait in vain for your love

You know, summer is here and I'm still waiting there
Winter is here and I'm still waiting there

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
