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 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 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 fell 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 Mm, hm Oh hoo, ooh, ohh Ooh, ooh, mm
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 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 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 fell
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
Mm, hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh
Ooh, ooh, mm
