| Hi there
|
| Should I’ve asked you, what’s your name?
|
| Should you’ve asked me the same?
|
| But dig
|
| Let’s not be wasting our time
|
| Let’s not lead each other blind
|
| If you don’t want me
|
| My heart can’t strain, yeah, another time
|
| There’s only 24 hours in a day
|
| And that don’t leave much time to play
|
| I don’t dig that no way, honey
|
| 'Coz my heart can’t take it, no, another day
|
| Listen to me, honey
|
| I’ve been told by many different girls
|
| 'Otis I love you, oh boy'
|
| They tell me this from the bottom of their soul
|
| But they didn’t mean it
|
| Listen
|
| I, I’ve been let down, yo
|
| Hit the ground
|
| And called the biggest, the biggest fool
|
| Biggest fool ever walked on this ground
|
| Listen
|
| I can’t stand it, no no no no
|
| To be built up, way on up, let down
|
| Being loved, yo, is all in my mind
|
| I don’t like that
|
| I like for it to be from the heart
|
| And I found out later on I was wasting my time
|
| Just a waste of time, yeah
|
| Somebody understand what I’m saying
|
| What I say
|
| It’s just a waste of time
|
| If you don’t want me mama
|
| Don’t just leave me hanging
|
| Don’t just let me waste my time, no no
|
| Somebody, somebody gotta get the message to me |
