You've been keeping me lonely, you've been keeping me down
And I'm sitting here wondering why I'm still hanging around
The night's grown cold babe, can't you see the signs
There's no use wasting this precious time
Look out your window, oh can't you see
That the sun is setting fast for you and me
You've grown hard babe, can't you see the signs
There's no use wasting this precious time
Well I should be out singing instead of whining
Yeah I should be out laughing instead of crying, crying, crying
Cause you've been keeping me lonely, you've been keeping me down
And I'm sitting here thinking to myself why I'm sticking around
When you no longer hear me and your eyes can't see
What this precious time means to someone like me
Oh I wanna start living, not ask for the day
And I've gotta start living, if I wanna be tasted, tasted
Tasted this precious time
