What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
There's a moment that feels like a-nothing
Until it's passed away
There's a glow and it won't last forever
Think about it every day
I don't know what you see in me
I don't know why you stay
Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
So you think that it's not really working
Well darling look again
It's imperfect and that's why it's perfect
Other colours are so plain
You don't always see the best in me
And I don't know what to say
Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
Cause I know what I got and it's setting me free
Anything that you want then I'm happy to be
Cause if I don't have your face then there's nothing to see
So baby please don't leave me
Baby please don't leave me
Baby never never never never leave me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
