Gilberto Gil Waiting a Vain Lyrics

I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t´rough.
But I know, now, that I´m way down on your line,
But the waitin´ feel is fine:
So don´t treat me like a puppet on a string,
´Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don´t talk to me as if you think I´m dumb;
I wanna know when you´re gonna come - soon.
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love,
´Cause if summer is here,
I´m still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I´m still waiting there.

Like I said:
It´s been three years since I´m knockin´ on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there´s lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I´m waiting - while I´m waiting for my turn,
See!

I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don´t wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
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.
No, I don´t wanna (I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna -
I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna wait in vain) -
No I - no I (I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna - I don´t
wanna - I don´t wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, I, no, I (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 your love that I´m waiting on (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 me love that you´re running from.
It´s Jah love that I´m waiting on (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 me love that you´re running from.
