Wasted Time Lyrics

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. 
How will you start it over? 
You don't know what became. 
You don't care much for a stranger's touch, 
But you can't hold your man. 

You never thought you'd be alone this far 
down the line 
And I know what's been on your mind 
You're afraid it's all been wasted time 

The autumn leaves have got you thinking 
about the first time that you fell 
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no 
you just loved the boy to well, Farewell 
So you live from day to day, and you dream 
about tomorrow, oh. 
And the hours go by like minutes 
and the shadows come to stay 
So you take a little something 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 worrying 'bout this wasted time 

Ooh, another love has come and gone 
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on 
I remember what you told me before you 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 
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh, 
Ooh,ooh, mm
