You call me your own then you leave me alone

I'm wasting my tears on you

While I settle down you're still paintin' the town

I'm wasting my tears on you

You promised time and time again to stop two timing me

Though I knew better even then I couldn't set you free

I love you somehow but it's all over now

I'm wasting my tears on you

I know it's no use so I'm turning you loose

I'm wasting my tears on you

I want you to know you're now free to go

I'm wasting my tears on you

You promised time and time again to stop two timing me

Though I knew better even then I couldn't set you free

But my love has grown cold all you want is my gold

I'm wasting my tears on you

You promised time and time again to stop two timing me

Though I knew better even then I couldn't set you free

Now you know how I feel so let's face the new deal

I'm wasting my tears on you
