I'M WASTING YOUR TIME (AND YOU'RE WASTING MINE)
(Dolly Parton)


Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton - 1969



 

There's nothing left to tie us to each other anymore
The love we knew is gone and that's a fact we can't ignore
There's nothing left but loose ends on all the ties that bind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine

There's no use in wasting the good years that we have left
When we might find happiness with somebody else
There's no chance for us, we can see it, we're not blind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine

The blame belongs to both of us, I guess we didn't try
Love is like a garden, lack of care will let it die
The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine

The blame belongs to both of us, I guess we didn't try
Love is like a garden, lack of care will let it die
The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine

Though it hurts we know it's best to leave it all behind
I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine
You're wasting mine
You're wasting mine
