Curtis Mayfield
Don’t Waste Your Time
(Chorus)
Don’t waste your time
My love is taken
You’ll easily find
There’s none to spare
You’ll find another somewhere
So don't waste your time
Don’t waste your time
(Verse 1)
Don’t waste your tears
Your love has been shared
From others' cheer
Could be such a shame
To cry in vain
So don’t waste your tears
(Verse 2)
Don't waste your tears
With respect my dear
I’m warning you
It’s said for me
You're one love, for you
(Verse 3)
But it’s time, my dear
That you discover
That I love another
And I tell you from the start now
(Chorus)
Don’t waste your time
My love is taken
You’ll easily find
There’s none to spare
You'll find another somewhere
So don't waste your time
Don't waste your time (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Horn Section Transition)
(Verse 4)
I see somewhere around the station
That you don't understand the situation
You're very sweet, and yet I must confess
Only second best
And I shouldn't have to tell you the rest
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
