Monkees - Don't Wait For Me lyrics

by Michael Nesmith

Don't wait for me, I'll be a long time coming,

Unless by then, you have told me something

That shows how much you care.

I've done much more than, as a man, I should have,

Why did you not do all you could have

To show how much you care?

Over and again, I wondered, "Was I wrong?"

I keep thinking I, maybe, should have come along,

But then there comes a time in every man's life when he must be strong,

And my time's come, so, if you're gone

Then I guess I'll cry and hold to memories

Of what might have been and when I finally leave

That will show how much I care.

Over and again, I wondered, "Was I wrong?"

I kept thinking that I, maybe, should have come along,

But then there comes a time in every man's life when he must be strong,

And my time's come, so, if you're gone

Then I guess I'll cry and hold to memories

Of what might have been and when I finally leave

That will show how much I care.
