Wasted Time Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Maybe it would be better if we never said goodbye 

Maybe I'd grow much older with you in my life 

Maybe we'd come out winners putting the world to right 

Maybe I should be sorry for wasting your time 

So who's right will take my side 

And call it spite or call it pride 

Call it love that never died 

Call it anything but wasted time? 

After the party's over, after the dream has died 

Some people keep returning to the scene of the crime 

Try to rewrite the story, tell you you never tried 

Tell you you should be sorry for wasting their time 

So who's right will take my side 

And call it spite or call it pride 

Call it love that never died 

Call it anything but wasted time? 

Maybe we could've done better, maybe, maybe not 

Maybe we could've made better use of time 

Maybe if anyone knew better how much time we've got 

They/It wouldn't be so hard to make the words up right 

So who's right will take my side 

And call it spite or call it pride 

Call it love that never died 

Call it anything but wasted time?
