Wasted Words

Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been? Is that so much to ask I'll pay you back no matter what the task You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know, Take that load off, looks like chest's about to go Your wasted words already been heard, are you really god, yes or no? Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright Good is it me or is it you? I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall, Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl Your wasted words so absurd, are you really Satan, yes or no? Tell me now baby? Ooh hoo Oh Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior Every other Christmas I would practice good behavior That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean Baby, I don't know how Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see, Find that broke down line and let it be Your wasted words will never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV Weekday soap-box specialty, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now By the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me --- Wasted Words - The Allman Brothers Band
