Wasted Time Songtext
von Merry Clayton

Well, baby, there you stand
With your little head down in your hand
Oh my God, can′t believe it's happening again
Your baby′s gone and you're all alone
And it looks like the end

I'm back out on the street
And I′m trying to remember
How can we start it over? Don′t know if we can
I don't care much for a stranger′s touch
But I can't hold my man

I never thought I′d be alone
This far down the line
But you know what's been on my mind
I′m afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got me thinking
About the first time that we fell
You didn't love this girl too much
No, no, no, you just loved this girl too well, well


So you live from day to day, oh baby
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to help it go away

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying ′bout this wasted time

And your love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes you keep it together, baby
You got to leave it alone

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying ′bout this wasted time

Yeah, oh baby, yeah
Ooh, hoo, hoo
