Lyrics

(Gmaj7)I don’t wan na wait in vain for your love.

Ooh girl, But I know ooh now that I’m (Cmaj7)way down on your line, I wan na know now,

but the wait ing feel is fine.

Ya see,

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 my to me as (Cmaj7)if you think I’m dumb.

burn while I’m (Gmaj7)wait ing, I wan na know when you’re gon na 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 (D)mer is here,

(Bm7)I’m still wait (Am7)ing there.

Win (D)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.

(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.
