Lyrics
That love we had, between you and me
Has ended now in misery
All those years of a love so true
Have been lost, and now we're through
Because you won't have me, no matter what I do
and I can see, there's no pleasin' you
You're leaving me - never comin' back
and I can't live with those cold hard facts (of a)
WASTED LOVE, AND A WASTED TIME
WHAT ONCE WAS GOOD, IS NOW AULD (L)ANG SYNE
SEEMS I CAN'T WIN, I ONLY LOSE
AND MY HEART HAS TURNED BLACK AND BLUE
I tried to change, I did all you asked
But now my love, is in your trash
You've beatin' me, I'm sore and bruised
And my heart, feels like it's abused (from a)
