Lyrics:

Barri-Sloan

Youve been keeping me lonely
Youve been keeping me down
And Im sitting here wondering
Why Im still hanging around.

The nights grown cold, babe
Cant you see the signs?
Ah, theres no use wasting
This precious time.

Look out your window
Ah, cant you see
That the sun is getting fast
For you and me?

Ah, youve grown hard, babe
Cant you see the signs?
Ah, theres no use wasting
This precious time.

Well, I should be out seeking
Instead of hiding
Yeah, I should be out laughing
Instead of crying, crying, crying.

Cause youve been keeping me lonely
Youve been keeping me down
And Im sitting here thinking to myself
Why Im sticking around.

When you no longer hear me
And your eyes cant see
What this precious time
Means to someone like me.

Oh, I wanna start living
Lifes for the taking
And Ive gotta start living
If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting
This precious time.
