Tommy Fain Wasted Lyrics

You play around at games, you treat men all the same
You've got something, something they think they need
It only takes a while, you toss your hair you smile
And your shy look is all that he sees

You took the cowboy from the country,
You took the sailor from the sea
When you were done you left them alone
Fighting back tears and thoughts of the years that they wasted

A twinkle in your eyes says there's a big surprise if we gamble
A wager, if we might
If we invest our time we might come to find our savior
At least our savior for a night

The days pass oh so quickly
But that look returns to your eyes
Each chance results in a failure
Because you can't be satisfied

I think about the glance the question and the chance you gave me
But heartbreak and the fear
Led me to lock my heart away, safe from you that day, protected
But now I see the years that I wasted

Yes I knew that cowboy, I knew that sailor who left the sea
So when you called my name I said "no", just the same
I passed up my chance and I knew in advance
That I'd wasted, my chance was wasted
I could have tasted your lips but I wasted
my chance was wasted
