Wasting My Time

Kitty Wells · Queen of Honky Tonk Street [1967]

(Jim Anglin)



Wasting my time

Acting happy and carefree

The one hurting most

That's got to be me.



I should win an Oscar

My acting was first class

You were just a bad memory

From out of my past.



Dancing and laughing

The world at my feet

Then the life of a party

Cried herself to sleep.



Wasting my time

Acting happy and carefree

The one hurting most

That's got to be me.



--- Instrumental ---



My make believe world

Is no good for me

But it only hurts me more

When I face reality.



I'm tired of pretending

There's nothing else to do

But there's one thing for certain

I'll keep on loving you.



Wasting my time

Acting happy and carefree

The one hurting most

That's got to be me...
