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 fineSo don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I want to know when you're gotta come,you seeI don't want to wait in a vain for your love
I don't want to wait in a vain for your love
I don't want to wait in a vain for your love
Cause summer is here
And I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
I'm still waiting thereLike I said
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy look, I want to know now
For I to knock some more,you seeIn life I know
That there is lots of grief

But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waitin'
While I'm waitin' for my turn,you seeI don't want to wait in a vain for your love
I don't want to wait in a vain for your love
I don't want to wait in a vain for your love
Cause summer is here
And I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
I'm still waiting thereLike I said
I don't want to,I don't want to
I don't want to,I don't want to
I don't want to wait in vain
I don't want to,I don't want to
I don't want to,I don't want to
I don't want to wait in vainIt's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy,is it crazy look, I want to know now
Like I said, the tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting
While I'm waiting for my turn,you see
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy look, I want to know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief

Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
