Freddy Fender – Wasted Days & Wasted Nights lyrics

Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left for you behind
For you don’t belong to me,
Your heart belongs to someone else.
Why should I keep loving you,
When I know that you’re not true?
And why should I call your name,
When you’re to blame
For making me blue?
Don’t you remember the day,
That you went away and left me?
I was so lonely,
Prayed for you only,
My love.
Why should I keep loving you,
When I know that you’re not true?
And why should I call your name,
When you’re to blame
For making me blue?
Don’t you remember the day,
That you went away and left me?
I was so lonely,
Prayed for you only,
My love.
Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left for you behind
For you don’t belong to me,
Your heart belongs to someone else.
Why should I keep loving you,
When I know that you’re not true?
And why should I call your name,
When you’re to blame
For making me blue?
