Allman Brothers Band - Wasted Words lyrics

By gregg allman<br>Copyright 1972 & 1974, no exit music co., inc. & allbros music co.<br><br>Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been? <br>Is that so much to ask? I'll pay you back no matter what the task.<br>You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know,<br>Take that load off, looks like chest's about to go.<br>Your wasted words already been heard, are you really god, yes or no? <br><br>Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright.<br>Is it me or is it you? I'd make a wager and I'd hope to lose.<br>Time's gone, looks like rome is 'bout to fall,<br>Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl.<br>Your wasted words so absurd, are you really satan, yes or no? <br><br>Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior,<br>Every other christmas I would practice good behavior.<br>That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean,<br>'cause baby, I don't know how.<br>Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see,<br>Find that broke down line and let it be.<br>Your wasted words wiill never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on tv.<br><br>Weekday soap-box speciality, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now,<br>By the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me.
