Wastin' Away

(album: Snakes And Ladders - 1980)

I'm going, yes I'm going, yes I'm going away
I finally made up my mind
I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving today
Leaving the good life behind.

I can never be the kind of man you want me to be
Don't cry, little darling, don't cry
You don't know what this kind of life is doing to me
Goodbye, little darling, goodbye.

Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day
Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day

Once upon a time you would've asked me to stay
I know, little darling, I know
Now I get the feeling you don't care anyway
It shows, little darling, it shows.

Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day
Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day

I'm going, yes I'm going, yes I'm going away
I finally made up my mind
I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving today
Leaving the good life behind.

Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day
Wasting away, wasting away
Too much of nothing every day

Wasting away, wasting away
Wasting away, wasting away
