Why waste your tears on a man who for years
Has just wasted your time?
He’d make amends if you’d let him be friends
But you think that that’s a crime
He’d like to be a big brother
Now that he’s found some other gal
If he must go, well, let him
Forget him, that’s all
Why waste your tears on a useless emotion
When he’s gone away?
He couldn’t give you an endless devotion
And you’ve had your day
Just look around and discover
Some other lover who’ll do
Why waste your tears on dreams
That’ll never come true?
