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
From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl
From the very first time I laid my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through
My heart tells me to follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But I know now that I’m way down on your line
And the waiting feel is fine
And the waiting feels just fine
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing
‘Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Don’t talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come?
I wanna know when you're gonna come?
Come, come, oh
Come, come, oh
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
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
'Cause summer is here
'Cause summer is here
I'm still waiting there
I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
Winter is here
And I'm still waiting there
And I'm still waiting there
Like I said
Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
E eu ainda posso bater mais um pouco
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feaseble?
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now
I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
For I to knock some more
In life I know
In life I know
There's lots of grief
There's lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Mas o seu amor é meu alívio
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting
Enquanto eu espero
While I'm waiting for my turn, oh come, come
While I'm waiting for my turn, oh come, come
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
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, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
Oh, I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna wait in vain
