A Waste of Time

How dare should I've asked you, what's your name?
 Should you ask me the same
 But dig, let's don't be wasting our time
 Let's don't leave each other blind
 If you don't want me
 My heart can't stand it another time
 There's only twenty four hours in a day
 That don't leave much time to play
 I don't dig that no way, honey
 'Cause my heart can't take it another day
 Listen to me, honey
 I've been told by many different girls
 Otis, I love you
 Oh boy, they tell me this
 From the bottom of their soul
 But they didn't mean it, listen
 I, I've been let down, hit the ground
 And called the biggest, the biggest fool
 The biggest fool to ever walk on this ground
 Listen
 I can't stand it, no, no, no, no
 To be built up, way on up, and let down
 Being in love, y'all, is all in my mind
 I don't like that, I like for it to be from my heart
 And I found out later I was wasting my time
 Just a waste of time, yeah
 Somebody understand what I'm saying when I say
 It's just a waste of time
 If you don't want me, mama, don't just leave me hangin'
 Don't just let me waste my time, no, no
 Somebody, somebody got to get the message to me
 I don't wanna.
