Wasted Words - Rehearsal/1972

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

Good 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

Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl

Your wasted words so absurd, are you really Satan, yes or no?

Tell me now baby?

Ooh hoo

Oh

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

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 will never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV

Weekday soap-box specialty, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now

By the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me
