you're waisting your time

coming round here

what got you to thinking

there was something new going on



you're waisting your time

coming round here

what got you to thinking

i had a different song



been lying awake all night

trying to figure out

it's that old song

keeps running around in my head



you're waisting your time

coming round here



but what's good for me

is not necessarely for the best

so play it for me



sometimes it works

sometimes it don't you know

some days it hurts

some days it feels real good



sometimes it hurts

sometimes it don't you know

some days it works so good

i can't see my way home



been climbing these old walls

why don't they screamin

what a cheat you are

(oh i'm not you're mean)

cos nothing else comes near me

you got this trick on the world



me have the sharpest chisel

the keenest eye

it's just that old song

i only got the one



so play it for me



sometimes it works

sometimes it don't you know

some days it hurts

some days it feels real good



sometimes it hurts

sometimes it don't you know

some days it works so good

i can't see my way home



i may have unscrewed the top

just to hear that sound

i may poor little

just to see the light shining thru



a little sip, but no more

hey, you belong to me now

don't you wander too far



so play it for me

and i'll play it for you

so play it for me

and i'll play it for you



sometimes it works

sometimes it don't you know

some days it hurts

some days it feels real good



sometimes it hurts

sometimes it don't you know

some days it works so good



i'm waisting my time

coming round here

what once burned so brightly

is all but smoke in the air



you're waisting your time

coming around here

what got you to thinking

i had a different song
