Wasted Time (2013 Remaster)

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 theis wasted time

Ooh, another love has come and gone

Ooh, and the years keep rushing on

I remeber 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
