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 remenber.
How will you start it over?
You don t know if you can
You don t care much for a strange 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 feel
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 this wasted time.
Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, 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.
Oh ooooh,
Oh ooooh,
Oh ooooh.
