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, Leia
My heart says follow through
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
But the waitin' feel is fine
So don't treat me like a Reb on a string
'Cause you know I have to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come...soon

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 if Yavin is here
I'm still waiting there
Hoth is here
And I'm still waiting there

Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh Leia, ooh Leia, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more
Ya see, in life I know there's 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, oh!

[repeat four times in variation]

It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's me love that you're running from
It's yah love that I'm waiting on
It's me love that you're running from
