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?

 Ah, there's no use wasting

 This precious time

 (N/C)

Look out your window

 Ah, can't you see?

 That the sun is getting fast

 For you and me

 Ah, you've grown hard, babe

 Can't you see the signs?

 Ah, there's no use wasting

 This precious time

 Well, I should be out seeking

 Instead of hiding

 Yeah, I should be out laughing

 Instead of crying, crying, crying

  (N/C)

'Coz 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

 Life's for the taking

 And I've gotta start living

 If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting

 This precious tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
