Jon B. – Waiting In Vain lyrics
From "Light It Up" Motion Picture Soundtrack
Written by Bob Marley

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 through
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 to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna 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

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

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 - 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
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

It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's my love that you're running from
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's my love that you're running from
It's my love that I'm givin' to ya baby

Whoa whoa whoa, I'm waiting, yeah
Don't make me wait in vain yeah
Don't make me wait in vain yeah
Don't make me wait in vain yeah
Don't make me wait in vain yeah
Don't make me wait in vain yeah

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain
Don't make me wait
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain
Don't make me wait
