You ve been keeping me lonely
You ve been keeping me down
And I m sitting here wondering
Why I m still hanging around
The night s grown cold, babe
Can t you see the signs?
Ah, there s no use wasting
This precious time
(N/C)
Look out your window
Ah, can t you see?
That the sun is getting fast
For you and me
Ah, you ve grown hard, babe
Can t you see the signs?
Ah, there s no use wasting
This precious time
Well, I should be out seeking
Instead of hiding
Yeah, I should be out laughing
Instead of crying, crying, crying
(N/C)
Coz you ve been keeping me lonely
You ve been keeping me down
And I m sitting here thinking to myself
Why I m sticking around
When you no longer hear me
And your eyes can t see
What this precious time
Means to someone like me
Oh, I wanna start living
Life s for the taking
And I ve gotta start living
If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting
This precious tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
