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
