Wasted Time - Joe Jackson

Maybe it would be better

If we never said goodbye

Maybe I’d grow much older

With you in my life

Maybe we’d come out winners

Putting the world to rights

Maybe I should be sorry

For wasting your time

So who’s right

Who’ll take my side

And call it spite or call it pride

Call it love that never died

Call it anything but wasted time

After the party’s over

After the dream has died

Some people keep returning

To the scene of the crime

Try to rewrite the story

Tell you you never tried

Tell you you should be sorry

For wasting their time

So who’s right

Who’ll take my side

And call it spite or call it pride

Call it love that never died

Call it anything but wasted time

Maybe we could have done better

Maybe, maybe not

Maybe we could have made better use of time

Maybe if anyone knew better how much time we’ve got

It wouldn’t be so hard

To make the words all rhyme

So who’s right

Who’ll take my side

And call it spite or call it pride

Call it love that never died

Call it anything but wasted time
