Standing on the corner
Tryna make a dime, uh-huh
Standin´ on the corner, girl
Tryin´ not to lose my mind, uh-huh
Isn´t it just a pity tryna make make it in this city?

It´s a waste of time, uh-huh

Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
All day long, I´m struggling
Tryin´ not to lose my mind, uh-huh
Isn´t it just a pity tryna make it in this city?
A waste of time, uh-huh

Pick a little blues on the corner
Tryna make me a buck or two, uh-huh
Pick a little blues on the corner
That´s all I know to do, uh-huh
Tell me times been tough, I´ll say you ain´t lyin´
It´s just a waste of time, uh-huh

Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
All day long, I´m struggling
Tryin´ not to lose my mind, uh-huh
Isn´t it just pity tryna make it in this city?
It´s a waste of time, uh-huh

Oh, yeah
Just a waste of time
I´m out here tryin´
And I´m wastin´ my time
I know I´m not alone
That´s why I wrote this song
Baby, I´m still just wastin´ my time
You think I´m lyin´?
