[Refrão]

Si7M                 Mi7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Si7M                 Mi7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Si7M                      Mi7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
Si7M                Mi7M
 My heart says follow through
Si7M                     Mi7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
Si7M                   Mi7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

Si7M                    Mi7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Si7M                    Mi7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
Si7M               Mi7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Si7M                          Mi7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

(Like I said)

Si7M                           Mi7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
Si7M                      Mi7M
 And I still can knock some more
Si7M               Mi7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
Si7M               Mi7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

Si7M           Mi7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
Si7M                  Mi7M
 But your love is my re-lief
Si7M                  Mi7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          Si7M                            Mi7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
