Waiting In Vain 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 t'rough.
But I know, now, (1)________ I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't (2)__________ me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I (3)________ to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna (4)________ when you're gonna come - soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for (5)________ love;
I don't (6)__________ (7)________ in vain for your love,
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm (8)__________ waiting there.

Like I said:
It's been (9)__________ (10)__________ 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 (11)________ 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 (12)______________ 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 (13)________ for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna (14)________ in (15)________ for your love, oh!
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna (16)________ 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 - I don't wanna wait in vain);
