Gilberto Gil - Waiting in Vain lyrics

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

From the very first time I
Blessed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through
But, I know now that Im way down on your line
And the waiting feel is 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 Im dumb

I wanna know when youre gonna come?
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Cause summer is here im still waiting there
Winter is here and Im still waiting there

Like I said it's been three years since Im
Knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feaseble?
I wanna know now for I to knock some more

In life I know theres lots of grief
But, your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn tears in my eyes burn
While Im waiting
While Im waiting for my turn

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
