C7M                 F7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
C7M                 F7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

C7M                      F7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
C7M                F7M
 My heart says follow through
C7M                     F7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
C7M                   F7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

C7M                    F7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
C7M                    F7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
C7M               F7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
C7M                          F7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

(Like I said)

C7M                           F7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
C7M                      F7M
 And I still can knock some more
C7M               F7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
C7M               F7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

C7M           F7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
C7M                  F7M
 But your love is my re-lief
C7M                  F7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          C7M                            F7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
