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
|
|
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
|
|
'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 time
|
