Lyrics
You can hear that clock a tickin',
and your mamma wants you in by nine,
but if I don’t get that lovin' girl,
Baby I’m a waistin' time,
Now you go out rockin' rollin',
and I know you was out all night,
Now you say gotta turn in early,
Baby I’m a waistin' time,
I’ve been saving all my nickels,
You been spending all my dimes,
But if I don’t get that doggone love,
Baby I’m a waistin' time,
All the sweet talk you been feeding,
Girl I know that it's all lies,
Honey I have been mistreated,
Now I know I’m just a waistin' time,
I ain’t countin' on a maybe,
While I stand and wait in line,
Excuses drove me half crazy,
Baby I’m a waistin' time
Go and find yourself another,
Who would sit alone and cry,
Then I won’t be the doggone one sittin' just a waistin' time
