Baby, Baby Don't Waste My Time
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If it don't mean nothing to you
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If you're just passing through
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If this is where we draw the line
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If you're leading me on and ain't gonna be mine
'Cause you swear that it's true
Wasn't guilty the time I caught you
That's when I made it clear
Free love, maybe so, but you can't buy it here
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If it don't mean nothing, don't pretend something
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
Don't hang around, this ain't no playground
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
I ain't got nothing to give away
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
Don't hang around, if you ain't gonna stay
'Cause word gets around that makes me doubt
What you're putting down
So here's a word to the wise
Don't sweet talk me with all that jive
Repeat What if I surrender
Although I'm full of doubt
And suddenly you wake up
And tell me you can live without
I ain't got but one life I want to live
I ain't got but one heart and I want to give
Repeat
If it don't mean nothing to you
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If you're just passing through
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If this is where we draw the line
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If you're leading me on and ain't gonna be mine
'Cause you swear that it's true
Wasn't guilty the time I caught you
That's when I made it clear
Free love, maybe so, but you can't buy it here
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
If it don't mean nothing, don't pretend something
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
Don't hang around, this ain't no playground
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
I ain't got nothing to give away
Baby, baby, don't waste my time
Don't hang around, if you ain't gonna stay
'Cause word gets around that makes me doubt
What you're putting down
So here's a word to the wise
Don't sweet talk me with all that jive
Repeat What if I surrender
Although I'm full of doubt
And suddenly you wake up
And tell me you can live without
I ain't got but one life I want to live
I ain't got but one heart and I want to give
Repeat
