Written by Sheri Miller
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Pocket full of gypsy seeds
You said you never smoked that weed
Oh, you lied
You said you lost your family
Somewhere in 1993
Oh, till money’s wired
You said she was a photograph
Some apparition from your past
Until I heard her voice at last, on the line a nervous laugh
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
Oh, Oh
You said you never finished school
But the letterhead says NYU
Oh, alumni
You say the Godfather makes you weep
A brutal world where no one sleeps
But I’ve never seen you cry
You kiss me deep you pull me in
Your crazy eyes a sparklin’
And I just wonder if this is when
You think of her last night again
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes,
I won’t waste my breath
I keep driving through red traffic lights
Cuz when you’re in love you believe every lie
And I don’t want a man to keep me up all night
When she’s the one being satisfied
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
I won’t waste my breath
I won’t waste my breath
I won’t waste my breath
Goodbye
