I don't want to argue about who is the victim   'Cause maybe we both got burned   I don't want to talk about who is the traitor   'Cause both of our loyalties turned      I don't want to fight about who is the liar   'Cause there's too many ways to lie   I don't want to hear about who is the winner   'Cause we both know it's a tie      Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?      You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it   And you lost all your pounds   The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication   And wound up in lost and found      So we took a trip to Paris   'Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline   All that I remember 'bout the days in that September   Is the Merci and the wine      Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste   Precious time, precious time, precious time, oh, precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?      You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome   Some would say you got it made   Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist   The gardener and the maid      You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone   Too tired to get dressed and get out   First you're happy, then you're sad   Somehow you always hang up mad, excuse me if I shout      Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste precious time   Precious time, precious time, oh precious time?   Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
