Lyrics

What drives me to my man
Earthly or divine or otherwise
Is no business of mine
You wasted my time
You wasted my time
Deep down, I never did feel right
Even now, sometimes that feeling's a lie
You wasted my time
You wasted my time
A heart long desperate
Oh, for just a little bit
A heart long desperate
Oh, for something I had all along
I don't need your love
I don't need your love
I don't need you to understand
I need you to listen
Oh-oh-oh
