Dont Waste Your Time - Lyrics by Alkaline Trio


Lyrics
"
Don't Waste Your Time"(feat. Aretha Franklin)
[
Mary]

Lately I've got this funny feeling

Something don't feel the same

But he's telling me I'm the one to blame

Yes I know that he still gives me good loving

But when he's deep inside

There's somebody else on his mind

[1] - [
Aretha] Don't waste your time
[
Mary] But it gets so hard to know
[
Aretha] Just walk away
[
Mary] You say that I gotta let go
[
Both] Seen it a millions times before
[
Aretha] You shouldn't take his stuff no more
[
Mary] Can't waste my time
[
Aretha] Girl, it's not hard to know
[
Mary] Should walk away
[
Aretha] Oh, you've gotta let him go
[
Both] Seen it a millions times before
[
Mary] Shouldn't take his ish no more

[
Aretha]

Sister girl, sister girl

It's much deeper than what you're thinking

When something don't feel the same

Hey you better believe his love has change(
And I have been telling you, telling you)

And what you're telling me(
Cuz it's been hurting me, hurting me)

It ain't, ain't any fool can see

He's got a sweetie on the side

Stop making truth out of his lies

[
Repeat 1]

[
Aretha & Mary]

What's the point of love

When you got no trust

What's the point of staying

When you seen enough

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve

[
Mary]

He don't deserve it

No you don't deserve it

[
Aretha]

Oh what's the point of feeling

[
Aretha & Mary]

Like there's nothing inside

What's the point of saying

That you still got your pride

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve

This is a lesson of love

[
Repeat 1 with ad libs until fade]
