Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna argue 'bout who is the victim
'Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't wanna talk about who is the traitor
'Cause both of our loyalties turned
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna fight about who is the liar
'Cause there's too many ways to lie
I don't wanna hear about who is the winner
'Cause we both know it's a tie
[Verse 3]
Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby, stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
[Verse 4]
You were on a liquid diet
You were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor's on vacation
So you took the medication
And wound up in lost and found
[Verse 5]
So we took that trip to Paris
'Cause you swore that it would scare us
Out of our swift decline
All that I remember
'Bout the days in that September
Is the merci and the wine
[Verse 6]
Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby, stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
[Verse 7]
You talk on the telephone
Long distance to New York or Rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress
No one comes in, but the florist
The gardener, and the maid
[Verse 8]
You call me on the telephone
You say you feel so alone
Too tired to dressed and get out
First you're happy then you're sad
Somehow you always hang up mad
Excuse me if I shout
[Verse 9]
Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby, stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Precious time, precious time, oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
