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
