You keep coming around knocking at the door But now I just won't answer I've heard it all before. All you did was keep me within your web of lies But I've got a message for you boy you find it a big surprise. I won't lie here's my reply - don't waste my time Nice try goodbye - don't waste my time. I won't lie this is my reply - don't waste my time Nice try goodbye - don't waste my time. Next time you gonna play your games There's something you ought to know. I've been around for a while boy And I can see see through your show. I'm not impressed by your high and mighty ways. All you got coming are dark and lonely days. There was a time I was willing to be your wife But that's all changed now I'm starting a brand-new life. I won't lie here's my reply - don't waste my time Don't waste my time - nice try goodbye - don't waste my time. I won't lie this is my reply - don't waste my time Nice try goodbye - don't waste my time. You keep coming around - don't waste my time. Nice try goodbye - don't waste my time.
