Waiting in Vain Songtext

von Annie Lennox

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feeling's 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

*See,
I don't wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in a vain for your love
'Cause summer is here
And I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
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 boy, ooh boy, is it crazy?
Look, I wanna know now
For I do knock some more, you see

In (the) life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waitin'
While I'm waitin' for my turn

(*Repeat)

Like I said
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

It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy?
Look, I wanna know now

Like I said
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting
While I'm waiting for my turn, you see
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy?
Look, I wanna know now
For I do knock some more
In (the) life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
