ARETHA FRANKLIN lyrics - Don't Waste Your Time

(Denise Rich, Josh Ruben)



[Mary:]

Lately I've got this funny feeling

Something don't feel the same

But he's telling me I'm the one to blame

Yes I know that he still gives me good loving

But when he's deep inside

There's somebody else on his mind



[Chorus:]

[Aretha:] Don't waste your time

[Mary:] But it gets so hard to know

[Aretha:] Just walk away

[Mary:] You say that I gotta let go

[Both:] Seen it a millions times before

[Aretha:] You shouldn't take his stuff no more

[Mary:] Can't waste my time

[Aretha:] Girl, it's not hard to know

[Mary:] Should walk away

[Aretha:] Oh, you've gotta let him go

[Both:] Seen it a millions times before

[Mary:] Shouldn't take his ish no more



[Aretha:]

Sister girl, sister girl

It's much deeper than what you're thinking

When something don't feel the same

Hey you better believe his love has change

(And I have been telling you, telling you)

And what you're telling me

(Cuz it's been hurting me, hurting me)

It ain't, ain't any fool can see

He's got a sweetie on the side

Stop making truth out of his lies



[Chorus]



[Aretha & Mary:]

What's the point of love

When you got no trust

What's the point of staying

When you seen enough

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve



[Mary:]

He don't deserve it

No you don't deserve it



[Aretha:]

Oh what's the point of feeling



[Aretha & Mary:]

Like there's nothing inside

What's the point of saying

That you still got your pride

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve

This is a lesson of love



[Chorus until fade]
