You got married in the summer ten years too soon
To a girl you always said you thought you knew
Ohh, wasted on you
You give her all the money that you get paid
And she puts it in a box for a rainy day
Ohh, wasted on you
Last night she looked so pretty
Lying there so still
Staring at the ceiling
Twenty-four hours to kill
Twenty-four hours to kill
The honeymoon is over it's time to go home
With your bubble burst, and your kids full grown
Ohh, wasted on you
You see all the girls in the bars in town
Do you fancy your chance at being single now?
Ohh, wasted on you
Last night she looked so pretty
Lying there so still
Staring at the ceiling
Twenty-four hours to kill
Twenty-four hours to kill
You go home to your women
with the tears in their eyes
But you're looking at the girls with the curls and the thighs
Ohh, she's wasted on you
And you don't know what you're missing cause you're blowing your chance
Why don't you go home and ask her to dance?
Ohh, she's wasted on you
Last night she looked so pretty
Lying there so still
She wonders where you are now
Twenty-four hours to kill
Twenty-four hours to kill
Twenty-four hours to kill
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
Twenty-four hours to kill, she's wasted on you
