Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Hi the[E]re[D]
Should I've asked you [G]what's
[E]your name?[D]
Should you've asked [C]me the same?
[D]But dig
Let's not be wasting our [G]time[E][D]
Let's not lead each oth[G]er [C]blind
If you don't [D]want me
My heart can't strain, yeah,
another [G]time
[E]

[Verse 2]
[D]
There's only twenty four hours
[G]in a [E]day[D]
And that don't leave much
[C]time to play
I don't dig that no way, [D]honey
Coz my heart can't take it,
no, another [G]day
Listen [Bb]to me honey

[Verse 3]
I've been [G]told by many dif[Bb]ferent girls
'Otis [G]I love you, oh [Bb]boy'
They tell me this from the bottom
[G]of their soul
[Bb]But they didn't mean it
Listen, I

[Verse 4]
I've [C]been let down, yo
Hit the ground
[D]And called the biggest, the biggest fool
Biggest fool ever walked on this ground
Listen

[Verse 5]
I can't [C]stand [G]it, [C]no [E]no no [D]no,
To be built up, way on up,
and let [G]down[E][D]
Being loved, yo,
is [C]home in my mind
I don't like that
[D]I like for it to be from the heart

[Verse 6]
[D]And I found out later on I was
wast[G]ing [Bb]my time
Just [C]a waste [G]of time yea[Gm]h[Bb]

[Verse 7]
Somebody [G]understand what I'm saying
What [C]I say[Bb]
It's just a waste [Gm]of t[G]ime[Bb]

[Verse 8]
If you don't want [G]me mama
Don't just leave me [Bb]hanging
Don't just let [C]me waste [G]my time,

[Verse 9]
no no
Somebody
Somebody gotta get the message to me
No I don't wanna
