Well baby, there you standWith your little head, down in your handOh, my god, you can’t believe it’s happeningAgainYour baby’s gone, and you’re all aloneAnd 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 farDown the lineAnd I know what’s been on your mindYou’re afraid it’s all been wasted timeThe autumn leaves have got you thinkingAbout the first time that you fellYou didn’t love the boy too much, no, noYou just loved the boy to well, farewellSo you live from day to day, and you dreamAbout tomorrow, oh.And the hours go by like minutesAnd the shadows come to staySo you take a little something toMake them go awayAnd I could have done so many things, babyIf I could only stop my mind from wonderin’ whatI left behind and from worrying ‘bout this wasted timeOoh, another love has come and goneOoh, and the years keep rushing onI 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 canGet on with mineAnd maybe someday we will find , that it wasn’t reallyWasted timeMm,hmOh hoo, ooh, ohh,Ooh,ooh, mm
