Lyrics Wasted Time - Joe Jackson

Wasted Time

Maybe it would be better
If we never said goodbye
Maybe I’d grow much older
With you in my life
Maybe we’d come out winners
Putting the world to rights
Maybe I should be sorry
For wasting your time
So who’s right
Who’ll take my side
And call it spite or call it pride
Call it love that never died
Call it anything but wasted time
After the party’s over
After the dream has died
Some people keep returning
To the scene of the crime
Try to rewrite the story
Tell you you never tried
Tell you you should be sorry
For wasting their time
So who’s right
Who’ll take my side
And call it spite or call it pride
Call it love that never died
Call it anything but wasted time
Maybe we could have done better
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe we could have made better use of time
Maybe if anyone knew better how much time we’ve got
It wouldn’t be so hard
To make the words all rhyme
So who’s right
Who’ll take my side
And call it spite or call it pride
Call it love that never died
Call it anything but wasted time
