Otis Redding — A Waste Of Time

[Verse 1] How dare should I have asked you, "What's your name?" Should you ask me the same? But dig, let's don't be wasting our time Let's don't leave each other blind If you don't want me My heart can't stand it another time There's only 24 hours in a day But that don't leave much time to play I don't dig that no way, honey 'Cause my heart can't take it, no, another day [Bridge] 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, hit the ground And called the biggest, the biggest fool The biggest fool to ever walk on this ground Listen [Verse 2] I can't stand it, no no no no To be built up, way on up, and let down Being in love, y'all, is all in my mind I don't like that, I like for it to be from my heart And I found out later I was wasting my time Just a waste of time, yeah Somebody understand what I'm saying when I say It's just a waste of time If you don't want me, mama, don't just leave me hangin' Don't just let me waste my time, no, no Somebody, somebody got to get the message to me
