Waiting In Vain
[Intro: Cutty Ranks]
I can't understand why Cocoa Tea make this girl have him yah a wait so long
It seems like him nah stand up as a true man
But listen, fi mi loving strong strong strong
She haffi come along

[Chorus: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (Baby girl!)
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (Jah know!, you are my girl)

[Verse 1: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through (eh heh?)
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line (she looks so fine)
But the waiting is feeling fine (she a one of a kind)
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string (don't pull me)
Cause I know I can do my thing
Don't talk to me, if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come (All I know is she haffi come with me)

[Verse 2: Cutty Ranks]
Wanna take her down to Paris, take her down to Rome
Take her to the beach, and from there, to my home
Candle light dinner, for only two alone
No disturbance, no calling on the phone
No more out there, I man will roam
She give me sweet loving, that's why I never leave home
[Bridge: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
Cause if summer is here
I'm still waiting there (keep on waiting!)
Winter is here
I'm still waiting here

[Verse 3: Cutty Ranks]
You are beautiful, you are wonderful
You make me jump out of fi mi Sterling and Wool
Rail up and down, like a bad bull
Likkle after dat, me haffi draw fi mi dool
Baby girl, I love you so much
Let we sit and talk about such and such
Keep a waste talk, kill Lenky and Dutch
Cah right ya now girl I got the tender touch

[Verse 4: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
Like I said!
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door (boy you're waiting too long)
And I still can knock some more (keep on knocking!)
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now
For I to knock some more (keep on knocking!)
You see, in life I know there's lots of grief (bwoy Cocoa it seems like this girl waan take you fi ghost master)
But your love is my relief (Lord of Mercy!)
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn (I'm gonna take her down to Paris, take her down to Rome, take her to the beach, and from there to my home)
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn (Candle light dinner, for only two alone, no disturbance, no calling on the phone)
[Chorus: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (I wanna to take her to a trip down pon the north coast, give her fi mi loving mi say, dose by dose)
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (Baby girl! A you I love the most, Cocoa Tea a bawl, and a scream, 'til him hoarse)
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love (Keep on waiting!)

[Outro: Cocoa Tea (Cutty Ranks)]
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain (Baby!)
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain (Him say, baby!)
No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain (Him say, baby girl!)
It's your love that I'm waiting on {I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain}(keep on waiting!)
And it's my love that you're running from
