Wasted Time
Well, baby, there you stand
with your little head down in your hand.
Oh my God, you can't believe, it's happening again.
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.
And you're back out on the street
And you're tryin' to remember, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
How do you start it over?
You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
but you can't hold your man.
Ya never thought you'd be alone,
this far down the line,
but I know what's been on your mind.
You're afraid it's all been wasted time.
The autumn leaves have got you thinkin',
about the first time that you fell.
Ya didn't love the boy too much - no, no,
you just loved the boy to well, well, well.
So ya live, from day to day and ya dream
about tomorrow-oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay.
So ya, ya take a little somethin' to
make them go away.
And I could have done so many things, baby,
if I could only stop my mind -
from wondrin' what I left behind
and from worryin' 'bout this wasted time.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, love has come and gone.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh and the years keep rushing on.
I remember what you told me before ya went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your search, baby
and I can get on with mine,
And maybe someday we will find,
that it wasn't really wasted time.
Mm, hm-mmm-hm-mmm,
Oh, ooh-hoo-hoo,
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-a-ooh-ooh.
