Eagles - Wasted Time Lyrics






Well, baby, there you stand
With your little head down in your hand

Oh, my God, you can't believe
It's happening again
Your baby's gone,
And you're all alone
And it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.

How do you start it over?
You don't know if you can.
You don't care much
For a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no,
You just loved the boy too well, well, well.

So you live from day to day,
And you dream about tomorrow

And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin' what I left behind
And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

Another love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own,
"Sometimes to keep it together,
We got to leave it alone."

So you can get on with your search, baby,
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

    Beautiful Song

  2. s.... w....

    Been an Eagles fan for a long time , and in my humble opinion , possibly the best song of theirs

  3. �.... �....

    eagles, это прекрасное время!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. A.... A....

    It is not the end.

    Relationships can help you grow and learn even when the breakup hurts like hell, but that applies more to younger people with 60 years left. When you are 35 and you spend 15 years in a bad relationship and end up alone it can be devasting. The problem is that we think we have time, but it is not promised. That is true for any age, but much more applicable to older people.

  10. E.... Y....

    Looks so much like Amy Lee....4

  11. M.... O....

    Best Eagles song, hands down. Still gets to me. Even now.

  12. p.... h....

    The 70s waisted time was so right i remember putting this song on after a big night as the sun was coming up eagles always captured that mood heaven and hell times break ups and make ups

  13. F.... M....

    Reading all the comments....makes me smile and I am proud to be a fan like you
    guys.........woman and money come and go.
    But we all search for love and may be one day we will find ....

  14. E.... B....

    Any relation is a process travelling in time. It interacts with yourself and anything you stand for. It either makes you stronger or weakens you. But it is defenetly NOT waisted time.

  15. E.... �....

    evet, gerçekten zaman kaybı olmadı.

  16. D.... W....

    Just love this track isn't all life wasted time ?

  17. R.... T....

    Starting with Love has come and gone... Till the end....brilliant song writers

    Lyrics:

    Well baby, there you stand
    With your little head, down in your hand
    Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
    Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
    And it looks like the end
    And you're back out on the street
    And you're tryin' to remember
    How do you start it over
    You don't know if you can
    You don't care much for a stranger's touch
    But you can't hold your man
    You never thought you'd be alone
    This far down the line
    And I know what's been on your mind
    You're afraid it's all been wasted time
    The autumn leaves have got you thinking
    About the first time that you fell
    You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
    You just loved the boy to well, farewell
    So you live day to day
    And you dream about tomorrow, oh
    And the hours go by like minutes
    And the shadows come to stay
    So you take a little something
    To make them go away
    I could have done so many things, baby
    If I could only stop my mind
    From wonderin' what I left behind
    And from worrying 'bout this wasted time
    Ooh, another love has come and gone
    Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
    I remember what you told me before you went out on your own
    Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone
    So you can get on with your search, baby
    And I can get on with mine
    And maybe someday we will find
    That it wasn't really wasted time
    Mmm, hmm mm
    Oh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, mmm mmm

  26. A.... T....

    Blaablaa ufcourse it can be a waste of time. Not every man is like the man who sings this song or wrote these lyrics

  27. C.... J....

    Nous ne saurons jamais si le temps se perd ou pas , l'essentiel est qu'il soit libre

  28. b.... b....

    Your baby’s gone, and you’re all alone
    And it looks like the end
    And I know what’s been on your mind
    You’re afraid it’s all been wasted time

  29. N.... S....

    I am a fan why do l discoverer this song so late



    I am in tears ...

  30. N.... K....

    😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

  31. P.... G....

    274 dislikes ...... probably wankers who think rap is music.

  32. P.... G....

    Funny how a song can take one back to a time & place.
    And how lyrics can fit into ones present circumstance.
    Wasted Time has always been a favourite but I can't listen to it without getting choked up.

    A relationship was only ever wasted time if nothing was learnt.

  33. E.... B....

    see you then, shit for brains, thanks for absolutely wrecking my life - moron

  34. a.... b....

    don hnley the best of the eagles

  35. F.... B....

    Love this song with a passion my dads favourite band if only I could listen with him .

  36. G.... P....

    1995 mi mancano tanti i giorni sereni quello fù l"anno del distacco dell"uomo che amavo.

  37. j.... ....

    This song is so real and glen frey was so right when he said that Don Henley could sing the phone book. I feel really lucky that i got to see Don Henley live last year in Wellington.

  38. D.... D....

    chills💙

  39. m.... ....

    Is this the video for this song, or has somebody put a hidden camera in my house and videoed my daily life?

  40. S.... L....

    This song has a very special meaning for me; I got divorced in Sept 2003, 14 months later I saw The Eagles concert in Yokohama. Half-way through the song my face was soaked with tears - and I didn't even know it was happening at first. In short, it touched my heart, gave me a lot to think, ultimately helped me "heal the mental scars" and more importantly taught me that music touches our emotions more then we think.

  41. d.... F....

    Wonderful....... no words !!!!!!!!

  42. V.... A....

    Magnifica

  43. S.... H....

    Awesome 😍😍

  44. L.... S....

  46. 1.... S....

    Increible que sea el unico comentario en español, hermoso tema

    J.... T....

    El videoclip no le hace justicia a tamaña canción! y la versión en directo que se marcan en el Hell freezes over es aún mejor

  71. J.... F....

    Goodnight Glen, now what we do?

    J.... F....

    Well, there's no Eagles.  The guys might re-group.

    J.... F....

    Waste time

  72. M.... J....

    "you can get on with your search baby and I can get on with mine and maybe we will find, that it wasn't really wasted time" says it all for me really

  73. k.... ....

    yeah, to those lamenting the loss of Glenn Frey, this was Don Henley singing this song. Just saying...Bummer, but Frey was as good as he was bad to the band. Great song, and with the money they all made, I don't think anyone can bitch about wasted time....

    k.... ....

    your user name is very appropriate....

    k.... ....

    You have a point.  I have made some negative comments about Glenn in the past and I do think he bullied Randy Meisner out of the band.  He had a great voice but they all did.  He was the business brains so I don't think The Eagles can continue.He was not a particularly nice man who sort of recognised that but he did pay for Joe Walsh's re-hab (hence Joe's loyalty): Glenn and Don saved his life and, apparently he paid for Randy Meisner's treatment at a critical point so I had to re-assess.

    k.... ....

    I guess you are talking to me.  What's with the aggression?  Kindergarten biographer?!  I did not really like Glenn Frey as a person (He did seem like a classic bully) but I am now re-assessing him in the light of the stuff about Joe and Randy that has become more public since his death.  There was clearly a good side to the man.

    Glenn could certainly sing as could and can Don Henley.  Randy Meisner had a fabulous voice and Tim seemed like a worthy successor.  Don Felder?  Perhaps not so much but he can certainly play an instrument.

    I am guessing you are here because you liked The Eagles.  So did I.

  74. D.... M....

    GD, this is such a great song.
