I don't want to argue about who is the victim

Cause maybe we both got burned

I don't want to talk about who is the traitor

Cause both of our loyalties turned

I don't want to fight about who is the liar

Cause there's too many ways to lie

I don't want to hear about who is the winner

Cause we both know it's a tie

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



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

So we took a trip to Paris

Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline

All that I remember `bout those days in that September

Is the "merci" and the wine



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



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 gardner, and the maid

You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone

Too tired to get dressed and get out

First you're happy, then you're sad

Somehow you always hang up mad

Excuse me if I shout



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
