Lyrics

October 16th

[Verse 1]

Wastin' my love on a waste of a man

I couldn't resist all the wonders he held in his hand

And I wasn't caught up or taught to

See that he was trying to coerce

So I seemed to just

Push aside the times when I'd see him at his worst

[Chorus]

Oooooh Ooooh

[Verse 2]

So with my heart pursued it was rude of me to seem so impolite

And the whiskey poured mixed with remorse is still burnin' in my mouth

And since you love me I was deceived by his captivating eyes

And I felt like for once I was a mesmerizing prize

Prize

Prize

[Chorus]

Oooooh Ooooh

[Refrain]

Little old unemotional me

I'm sorry I just can't seem to explain

Can't quite see what I thought wasn't wrong

Because at the time I never felt an pain

So how did he make me think

He was unquestionably one of the saints

I guess its all was just lies that you told me

On October 16th

[Chorus]

Oooooh Ooooh

Oooooh Ooooh

[Outro]

I wasted my love on a waste of a man
