You’re  wasting your time  coming ‘round here
What  got you to thinking there was something  new going on?
You’re  wasting your time  coming ‘round here
What  got you to thinking  I had a different  song?
Been  lying awake all night trying  to figure out
It’s  that old song – keeps running  around in my head
You’re  wasting your time coming ‘round  here
But  what’s good for me is  not necessarily for the  best
 So play it for me
Sometimes  it works,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it hurts, some  days it feels real  good
Sometimes  it hurts,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it works so good  I can see my way  home
Been  climbing these old walls warning and screaming what  a cheat you are
‘Cause  nothing else comes near me, you got this trick  going on
May  have the sharpest chisel, the  keenest eye
It’s  just that old  song, I’ve only  got the one
 So play it for me
Sometimes  it works,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it hurts, some  days it feels real  good
Sometimes  it hurts,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it works so good  I can see my way  home
I  may unscrew the top just to hear  that sound
I  may pour a little just to see the light  shining through
A  little sip, but no more
Hey,  you belong to me now,  don’t you wander too far
 So play it for me
 And I’ll play it for you
 So play it for me
 And I’ll play it for you
Sometimes  it works,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it hurts, some  days it feels real  good
Sometimes  it hurts,  sometimes it  don’t, you know
Some  days it works so good  I can see my way  home
I’m  wasting my time coming ‘round  here
What  once burned so brightly is all but smoke  in the air
You’re  wasting your time coming ‘round  here
What  got you to thinking  I had a different  song?
