Well baby, there you stand   With your little head, down in your hand   Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening   again   Your baby's gone, and you're all alone   and it looks like the end.      And you're back out on the street.   And you're tryin' to remember.   How will you start it over?   You don't know what became.   You don't care much for a stranger's touch,   But you can't hold your man.      You never thought you'd be alone this far   down the line   And I know what's been on your mind   You're afraid it's all been wasted time      The autumn leaves have got you thinking   about the first time that you fell   You didn't love the boy too much, no, no   you just loved the boy to well, Farewell   So you live from day to day, and you dream   about tomorrow, oh.   And the hours go by like minutes   and the shadows come to stay   So you take a little something to   make them go away   And I could have done so many things, baby   If I could only stop my mind from wonderin' what   I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time      Ooh, another love has come and gone   Ooh, and the years keep rushing on   I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:   "Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."   So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can   get on with mine   And maybe someday we will find, that it wasn't really   wasted time   Mm,hm   Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,   Ooh,ooh, mm
