A F# E
How dare
E
should I have asked you,
A F# E
"What's your name?"
E D
Should you ask me the same? But dig,
E
let's don't be wasting
A F# E
our time
E D
Let's don't leave each other blind
E
If you don't want me, my heart can't stand it
A F#
another time
E
There's only 24 hours
A F#
in a day
E D
But that don't leave much time to play, I don't dig that no way, honey
E
'Cause my heart can't take it, no,
A
another day
[Bridge]
A C
Listen to me, honey
A C
I've been told by many different girls
A C
"Otis, I love you" Oh boy, they tell me this
A C
From the bottom of their soul, but they didn't mean it, listen
C D
I, I've been let down, hit the ground
E E
And called the biggest, the biggest fool
E E
The biggest fool to ever walk on this ground, listen
[Verse 2]
A F#
I can't stand it, no no no no
E
To be built up, way on up, and
A F#
let down
E D
Being in love, y'all, is all in my mind
E
I don't like that, I like for it to be from my heart and I found out later
A C
I was wasting my time
A C
Just a waste of time, yeah
A C
Somebody understand what I'm saying when I say
A C
It's just a waste of time
A C
If you don't want me, mama, don't just leave me hangin'
A
Don't just let me waste my time, no, no
C A
Somebody, somebody got to get the message to me
