[HOOK x2]
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours, babe
If you waste some of mine

[Verse 1]
There's a moment that feels like nothing 'til it's passed away
There's a glow and it won't last forever, I think about it everyday
I don't know what you see in me, I don't know why you stay
Cause you don't owe me nothing, but you give it to me anyway

[HOOK x2]
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours, babe
If you waste some of mine

[Verse 2]
So, you think that it's not really working, darling look again
It's imperfect and that's why its perfect, other colours are so plain
You don't always see the best of me and I don't know what to say
Cause you don't owe me nothing, but you give it to me anyway

[HOOK x2]
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours, babe
If you waste some of mine
[Bridge]
Cause I know what I've got and its setting me free
Anything that you want and I'm happy to be
Cause if I don't have your face then its nothing to see
So, baby please don't leave me
Baby, please don't leave me
Baby, never, never, never, never, leave me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[HOOK x2]
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours, babe
If you waste some of mine
