Precious Time Lyrics


I don't want to argue about who is the victim
'Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't want to talk about who is the traitor
'Cause both of our loyalties turnedI don't want to fight about who is the liar
'Cause there's too many ways to lie
I don't want to hear about who is the winner
'Cause we both know it's a tieCut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication
And wound up in lost and foundSo we took a trip to Paris
'Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline
All that I remember 'bout the days in that September
Is the Merci and the wineCut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste
Precious time, precious time, precious time, oh, precious time?

Life is too short, so why waste precious time?You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
The gardener and the maidYou call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
Too tired to get dressed and get out
First you're happy, then you're sad
Somehow you always hang up mad, excuse me if I shoutCut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Precious time, precious time, oh precious time?
Life is too short, so why waste precious time?

Pat Benatar is a four-time Grammy winner with six platinum and four gold albums to her credit as well as such hit singles as "I Need A Lover", "Heartbreaker", "Fire and Ice", "Treat Me Right", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Hell Is For Children", "Shadows Of The Night", and "Love Is A Battlefield". Benatar is acknowledged as one of the leading female rock vocalists in the industry.

She was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City, USA, on January 10th 1953, as Patricia Andrzejewski and graduated Lindenhurst High on Long Island in 1971. She married her lead guitarist, Neil "Spider" Geraldo, in 1982, and has two children, Haley and Hana.

In 1973, Benatar quit her job as a bank teller to pursue a singing career after being inspired by a Liza Minnelli concert she saw in Richmond. She got a job as a singing waitress at a flapper-esque nightclub named "The Roaring Twenties", and got a gig singing in lounge band Coxon's Army. They garnered enough attention to be the subject of a never-aired PBS special, and the band's bassist, Roger Capps, would go on to be the original bass player for the Pat Benatar band.

This period also yielded Benatar's first solo single – 1974's "Day Gig" – until her eventual major label debut on Chrysalis Records in 1979. The song was released via Trace Records, and was both written and produced by Coxon's Army band leader Phil Coxon.

Benatar's big break came in 1975 at an amateur night at the comedy club "Catch a Rising Star" in New York City. Her rousing rendition of Judy Garland's "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" earned her a call back by club owner Rick Newman, who would later become her manager.

After many years of producing big budget albums, Neil and Pat have continued to produce albums together, even though they have decided to end their association with major labels. They have chosen instead to place the care of their children above industry demands, and make records at home in their own professional quality studio. Each summer when their girls get out of school for vacation, they all pack up, board a tour bus, and set out to play as many shows as they can fit into the summer months. Pat and Neil maintain a close, and much more personal, relationship with their fans, than they were able to do in 80's during the heights of their commercial success.
