About Waiting In Vain

"Waiting In Vain" is a Song from the Exodus 1977 album by Jamaican reggae band Bob Marley and the Wailers, first released in June 1977 through Island Records, following Rastaman Vibration (1976). The album's production has been characterized as laid-back with pulsating bass beats and an emphasis on piano, trumpet and guitar. Unlike previous albums from the band, Exodus thematically moves away from cryptic story-telling; instead it revolves around themes of change, religious politics, and sexuality. .

Waiting In Vain Lyrics

[00:00.06] One, two, one, two, three
[00:05.12]
[00:18.28] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[00:24.33] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[00:31.50] From the very first time I placed my eyes on you, girl
[00:37.85] My heart says, "Follow through"
[00:43.47] But I know now that I'm way down on your line
[00:49.82] But the waitin' feel is fine
[00:55.89] So, don't treat me like a puppet on a string
[01:01.98] 'Cause I know how to do my thing
[01:08.09] Don't talk to me, as if you think I'm dumb
[01:14.02] I wanna know when you're gonna come
[01:17.81] See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[01:25.33] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[01:31.50] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[01:36.96] 'Cause it's summer is here, I'm still waiting there
[01:44.12] Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there
[01:49.60]
[02:12.53] Like I said
[02:14.85] "It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door"
[02:21.10] And I still can knock some more
[02:25.91] Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
[02:30.84] I wanna know now, for I to knock some more
[02:37.11] Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief
[02:45.45] But your love is my relief
[02:50.02] Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
[02:55.98] While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn
[03:01.31] See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[03:08.53] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[03:14.73] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[03:20.63] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[03:26.81] I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[03:32.14] Oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[03:35.89] I don't wanna wait in vain
[03:38.60] No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[03:42.09] I don't wanna wait in vain, no I
[03:45.08] I don't wanna, I don't wanna (no I) I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[03:48.05] I don't wanna wait in vain
[03:50.55] No, no, no, I, no I (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[03:53.39] I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain)
[03:56.65] It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[03:58.72] I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain)
[03:59.60] It's my love that you're running from
[04:02.76] It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[04:04.63] I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain)
[04:05.52] It's my love that you're running from
[04:08.45] Oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
[04:12.48]
