Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a feelin' that I'm wastin' time on you, babe
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love that I thought I was givin' to you
Baby, it's true
[Verse 2]
Got a feelin' that you're playin' some game with me, babe
Got a feelin' that you just can't see
If you're entertainin' any thought that you're gainin'
By causin' me all of this pain and makin' me blue
The joke's on you
[Verse 3]
When I get to feelin' that you're stealin' love
And I don't know why, babe
It makes me so discouraged
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe
Or even try, babe
[Verse 4]
Got a feelin' that I'm wastin' time on you, babe
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love that I thought I was givin' to you
Baby, it's true, the joke's on you
Baby, it's true, the joke's on you
