[Refrão]

E7M                 A7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
E7M                 A7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

E7M                      A7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
E7M                A7M
 My heart says follow through
E7M                     A7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
E7M                   A7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

E7M                    A7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
E7M                    A7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
E7M               A7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
E7M                          A7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

(Like I said)

E7M                           A7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
E7M                      A7M
 And I still can knock some more
E7M               A7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
E7M               A7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

E7M           A7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
E7M                  A7M
 But your love is my re-lief
E7M                  A7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          E7M                            A7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
