Lyrics
(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.
(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.
From the ver y first time I (Cmaj7)blessed my eyes on you, girl,
my heart says, can “Fol low (Cmaj7)through.”
But I know now that I’m (Cmaj7)way down on your line, I wan na know now,
but the wait ing feel is (Cmaj7)fine.
So don’t treat me like a (Cmaj7)pup pet on a string,
’cause I know how to do my (Cmaj7)thing.
Don’t talk to me burn, as (Cmaj7)if you think I’m dumb.
while I’m wait (Gmaj7)ing, I wan na know when you’re gon na (Cmaj7)come.
See, (Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.
(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.
(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait
in (Cmaj7)vain for your love,
’cause it’s sum mer here,
(Am7)I’m still wait ing there.
Win ter is here
and (Bm7)I’m still wait (Am7)ing there.
Like I said, (Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.
(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait
in (Cmaj7)vain for your love.
Oh, (Gmaj7)I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, (Cmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain.
No, (Gmaj7)I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, I don’t wan na, (Cmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain.
It’s your (Gmaj7)love that I’m wait ing on.
It’s my (Cmaj7)love that you’re run ning from.
It’s your (Gmaj7)love that I’m wait ing on.
It’s my (Cmaj7)love that you’re run ning from.
It’s your (Gmaj7)love.
