EAGLES LYRICS - Wasted Time

"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 too 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



Oh, another love has come and gone

Oh, 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, oh,

Ooh, ooh, mm
