Lyrics - Don't Wait For Me by Monkees

by
Michael
Nesmith
Don't wait for me,
I'll be a long time coming,
Unless by then, you have told me something
That shows how much you care.
I've done much more than, as a man,
I should have,
Why did you not do all you could have
To show how much you care?
Over and again,
I wondered, "
Was
I wrong?"
I keep thinking
I, maybe, should have come along,
But then there comes a time in every man's life when he must be strong,
And my time's come, so, if you're gone
Then
I guess
I'll cry and hold to memories
Of what might have been and when
I finally leave
That will show how much
I care.
Over and again,
I wondered, "
Was
I wrong?"
I kept thinking that
I, maybe, should have come along,
But then there comes a time in every man's life when he must be strong,
And my time's come, so, if you're gone
Then
I guess
I'll cry and hold to memories
Of what might have been and when
I finally leave
That will show how much
I care.
