| I don’t wanna argue 'bout who is the victim, 'cause maybe we both got burned
|
| I don’t wanna talk about who is the traitor
|
| 'Cause both of our loyalties turned
|
| I don’t wanna fight about who is the liar, 'cause there’s too many ways to lie
|
| I don’t wanna hear about who is the winner, 'cause we both know it’s a tie
|
| Chorus:
|
| Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby, stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time
|
| Life is too short, so why waste precious time
|
| You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it And you lost all your pounds
|
| The doctor’s on vacation, so you took the medication
|
| And wound up in lost and found
|
| So we took that trip to Paris, 'cause you swore that it would scare us Out of our swift decline
|
| All that I remember 'bout the days in that September is the merci and the wine
|
| Chorus
|
| Precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
|
| Life is too short, so why waste precious time
|
| (Instrumental break)
|
| You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome
|
| Some would say you got it made
|
| Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
|
| The gardener, and the maid
|
| You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
|
| Too tired to get dressed and get out
|
| First you’re happy, then you’re sad, somehow you always hang up mad
|
| Excuse me if I shout
|
| Chorus
|
| Life is too short, so why waste
|
| Precious time, precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
|
| Life is too short, so why waste precious time |
