(Dolly Parton/Bill Owens)

I wasted my tears
When I cried over you

I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I should've known
You would never be true
I loved and I lost you
Now I'm so blue
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you

You said that you loved me
And would always be true
Now you gone'n left me
Oh, what will I do
Oh, why did you leave me
For somebody new
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you

I wasted my time
When I spent it with you
But one is so blind
When love is so new
Now out of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you

I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
