The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've been waiting for months, waiting for years, waiting for you to change. Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber, there ain't much that's dumber than pinning your hopes on a change in another. And I, yeah I still need you, but what good's that gonna do? Needing is one thing, and getting, getting's another. So I been sitting around, wasting my time, wondering what you been doing. Aw, and it ain't real forgiving, it ain't real forgiving sitting here picturing someone else living. And I, yeah I still need you, but what good's that gonna do? Needing is one thing, and getting, getting's another. I've been hoping for months, hoping for years, hoping I might forget. Aw but it don't get much dumber, it don't get much dumber than trying to forget a girl when you love her. And I, yeah I still need you, but what good's that gonna do? Needing is one thing, and getting, getting's another. When? When? Why not now? Why not me? Why not me?
