Wasted Time

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

Back out on the street
And you're tryin' to remember
How we started over
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for a stranger's touch
But you can't hold you men

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

And all it means it got you thinkin'
About the first time that you fell
You didn't worry before too much
Now you just love the boy too well

So you ive from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
Then the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

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

The love has come and gone
The years keep rushin' on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Soemtimes to keep it together
You gotta leave it alone

So you can keep 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
