James Brown
Waiting In Vain
[Intro]
Oh!

[Verse 1]
He stands just waitin' in vain
My tears are fallin' down like rain
Although my folks all tell me, and all my friends
That someday you'll make me cry
But I know now that they were jealous of
And everything they told me was a lie
Oh yeah, help me!

[Verse 2]
He stands out here with a broken heart, oh babe
And oh, but why, why, why, why
Won't somebody ease this pain?
Oh yeah
I want somebody, I want somebody to ease my pain
And don't let me stand, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Waitin' here, baby, oh
Don't let me stand here now
Waiting in vain
If you can't do nothin' else, I want you to help me
And don't let me stand here, now, no
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me wait in vain
Yeah!
Ow!
