You've been keeping me lonely   You've been keeping me down   And I'm sitting here wondering   Why I'm still hanging around      The night's grown cold, babe   Can't you see the signs?   Ah, there's no use wasting   This precious time      Look out your window   Ah, can't you see?   That the sun is getting fast   For you and me      Ah, you've grown hard, babe   Can't you see the signs?   Ah, there's 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      'Coz you've been keeping me lonely   You've been keeping me down   And I'm sitting here thinking to myself   Why I'm sticking around      When you no longer hear me   And your eyes can't see   What this precious time   Means to someone like me      Oh, I wanna start living   Life's for the taking   And I've gotta start living   If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting   This precious time
