Now, listen to me baby let me set you straight
I want your lovin', but I ain't a-gonna wait
Ain't a-gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna let you treat me like a worn out dime

And I want your lovin', that I can't deny
But I'm gonna live 'til the day I die
Ain't spinnin' my wheel no matter what you do
'Cause I found another like I found you

You can sail your boat when the pond is dry
You can sugar me with those worn out lies
Ain't a-gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna let you treat me like a worn out dime

[Instrumental Break]

Now, when I come a-callin' and knock on your door
You better hear the first there won't be no more
Ain't gonna waste my time
I ain't gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna let you treat me like a worn out dime

And I want your lovin', that I can't deny
But I'm gonna live 'til the day I die
Ain't spinnin' my wheel no matter what you do
'Cause I found another like I found you
Ain't no use for fishin' when the fish won't bite
Right from the start I wanna hold you tight
Ain't gonna waste my time
I ain't gonna waste my time
Ain't a-gonna let you treat me like a worn out dime
