A Waste of Time - Otis Redding

作词：Otis Redding

Hi there

Should I've asked you what's your name

Should you've asked me the same

But dig

Let's not be wasting our time

Let's not lead each other blind

If you don't want me

My heart can't strain yeah another time

There's only ２４ hours in a day

And that don't leave much time to play

I don't dig that no way honey

'Coz my heart can't take it no another day

Listen to me

Honey

I've been told

By many different girls

Otis I love you oh boy

They tell me this from the bottom of their soul

But they didn't mean it

Listen

I

I've been let down yo

Hit the ground

And called

The biggest

The biggest fool

Biggest fool ever walked on this ground

Listen

I can't stand it no no no no

To be built up way on up and let down

Being loved yo is home in my mind

I don't like that

I like for it to be from the heart

And I found out later on

I was wasting my time

Just a waste of time yeah

Somebody understand what I'm saying

What I say

It's just a waste of time

If you don't want me mama

Don't just leave me hanging

Don't just let me waste my time no no

Somebody

Somebody gotta get the message to me

No I don't wanna
