Wasted Words (Album Version) - The Allman Brothers band

Written by：Gregg Allman

Can you tell me

Tell me

Friend just exactly where I've been

Is that so much to ask

I'll pay you back no matter what the task

You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know

Take that load off

Looks like chest's about to go

Your wasted words already been heard

Are you really God yes or no

Well all day and half the night

You're walkin' round lookin' such a fright

Is it me or is it you

I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose

Time's gone looks like Rome is 'bout to fall

Show all again

Next time take the elevator

Please don't crawl

Your wasted words so absurd

Are you really Satan yes or no

Say I really know

Well I ain't no saint and you

Sure as hell ain't no savior

Every other Christmas

I would practice good behavior

That was then

This is now

Don't ask me to be Mister Clean

'Cause baby

I don't know how

Ring my phone 'bout ten more times we will see

Find that broke down line and let it be

Your wasted words wiill never be heard

Go on home baby and watch it on TV

Weekday soap box speciality

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout now

By the way

This song's for you

Sincerely me
