Lyrics Waiting in Vain - Bad Temper Joe

A dozen roses in one
A box of chocolates in the other hand
Kind of scary, the day's nearly done
And I'm waiting for my woman
She told me she would be on time
But she's already a little too late
Close to the edge and I feel like cryin'
How long must I wait
Lightness turns into darkness
Sunshine into rain
Happiness into sorrow
I'm waiting in vain
Wondering if our love's still strong
I'd like to say that it's still fun
But you've got my heart locked away in the dark
It could use some sun
Lightness turns into darkness
Sunshine into rain
Happiness into sorrow
I'm waiting in vain
I wish it was all a bad joke
Sure I do but better I know
Don't know why or where it did start
Love's tearing us apart
Lightness turns into darkness
Sunshine into rain
Happiness into sorrow
I'm waiting in vain
Lightness turns into darkness
Sunshine into rain
Happiness into sorrow
I'm waiting in vain
