Pat Benatar - Precious Time - Текст песни

I don't wanna argue 'bout who is the victim, 'cause maybe we both got burned
I don't wanna talk about who is the traitor
'Cause both of our loyalties turned
I don't wanna fight about who is the liar, 'cause there's too many ways to lie
I don't wanna hear about who is the winner, 'cause we both know it's a tie

Chorus:
Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby, stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication
And wound up in lost and found
So we took that trip to Paris, 'cause you swore that it would scare us
Out of our swift decline
All that I remember 'bout the days in that September is the merci and the wine

Chorus

Precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

(Instrumental break)

You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
The gardener, and the maid
You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
Too tired to get dressed and get out
First you're happy, then you're sad, somehow you always hang up mad
Excuse me if I shout

Chorus

Life is too short, so why waste
Precious time, precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
