Waiting In Vain 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ah Serendipity. GREAT soundtrack. I went through a phase where this song was on repeat constantly. Very pure lyrics.
I used to think it was about a woman who loved a man for a long long time, but for whatever reason, that love wasn't being reciprocated... I don't know whether she was loving from a distance? Loving while he was with another? Or maybe even loving while he was loving another? But something in the song told me he was dropping little pieces of ideas at her feet, ideas that were giving her the impression he is interested... but nothing was coming out of it, hence why she felt she is waiting in vain.
Now, when I hear it, I see a much simpler notion. She wants her turn at love. She's been waiting for a while, sees change in seasons, but not in herself and love. Perhaps she wonders if there's a flicker of something, a possible relationship, but secondguesses herself ("Am I crazy? Am I crazy? No, I wanna know...").
question.. is this the song from the movie serendipity.. when kate beckinsale opened her weird rocker bf's door en found petals all over the floor before he made the proposal?
to mesh...yup it is =)
ITS IN CHANGING LANES TOO ^-^
I think the whole Medusa Album is great. When someone makes an album of their favourite all time songs it gives a great insight into the artist.
This is a nice one. Beautifully played in the movie "Serendipity" - makes you want to believe that love, if truly destined by fate, will move in mysterious ways and takes its own course... to make two people find each other again, despite all odds...
