Annie Lennox - Waiting in vain (Serendipity Soundtrack) text lyrics

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy,
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feeling's fine.
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,
I wanna know when you're gonna come.

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 vain for your love,
'Cause 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 knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more.
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
For I to knock some more. You see...
In life I know there is 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.

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 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,
'Cause 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 knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more.
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
Like I said, tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn, see
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
For I to knock some more.
In love I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief.

although annie did a great cover of this tune, and it fit well in the movie and on the soundtrack, i do prefer bob marleys original

My favorite movie... I do believe in Soulmates!

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.Waited a lifetime for a love which wasn't mine.True love waits...a wait in vain.When you come to your senses,its just too late... you have no life and time left to let go and find someone better

[Bethflorido]

Feliz acaso...

@i8tevverist Where.....and who? :)

[mypreciousonekev]

There comes a time when you've waited long enough, and you've done all you can to show your love ... and yet your beloved just does not feel it, doesn't appreciate it. Then you realize there's nothing more you can do but to let go, no matter how much it tears you up inside .... Goodbye my love.

@bethka104 AM HERE,,,,,

Love the song, love this version and love the message. Waiting in vain only keeps you stuck some place you shouldn't be.. Better to let go and allow something/someone better to come inside.

[MegaBeachBaby123]

this song is haunting... amazing and real.. Love Bob Marley.. but Annie nailed it. As a women, she really put emotion in it. The words hit home.

If someone you love doesn't understand the lyrics of this song, it may be time to walk away.
