Don't Hurry Back

I've wasted too much time on you already
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
No, no
It's 2 o'clock in the morning
I'm awake and alone by the phone
Wondering where you could be
What a fool I've been to me
I think I've finally had it
So if you stay or you go
I don't care anymore
Honey I'm going back to sleep
You're not the person you used to be
So
Don't hurry back
I've wasted too much time on you already
(Don't hurry back)
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
(Don't hurry back)
No, no
I wake up from dreaming
I've got a smile on my face
It's just me and my place
And I'm not worried where you could be
'Cause the truth has set me free, oh
Spent too much time with you boy
Now it's time to live, I've got so much to give
To someone who wants to give back to me
I rather wonder where he could be
So
Don't hurry baby
I've wasted too much time on you already
(Don't hurry back)
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
(Don't hurry back)
No, no
I'm not waiting for you to come
Not anticipating for you to do right at all, oh no
Man you drive me crazy
You don't love me very much
So boy don't you hurry
There's no need to rush
So
Don't hurry back
I've wasted too much time on you already
(Don't hurry back)
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
(Don't hurry back)
No, no
(Don't hurry back)
Don't you hurry, hurry back
I've wasted too much time
(Don't hurry back)
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
(Don't hurry back)
No, no
Don't hurry baby
I've wasted too much time on you already
(Don't hurry back)
You took my love and let my dreams all shatter
(Don't hurry back)
Oh yes you did
No, no
Don't you hurry, no no
(Don't hurry back)
