[Verse 1]
You've maybe seen me walk behind you
Follow you just everywhere you go
I've heard a whisper
They're telling me you've missed her
Know you're loving someone else instead of loving me

[Chorus]
So I've been wasting my time
Running after you girl
Wasting my time
Still I feel a sense of love
Never be mine
You're someone else's lady
Always on my mind
That I could steal your love away

[Verse 2]
Even now I know it doesn't change me
Maybe some day you'll be free again
Till then remember
Babe, I won't surrender
Hurts me when I know you're loving
Someone else instead of loving me

[Chorus]
So I've been wasting my time
Running after you girl
Wasting my time
Still I feel a sense of love
Never be mine
You're someone else's lady
Always on my mind
That I would steal your love away

[Bridge]
You said that you've been missing me
But how can that be, girl, how can that be, girl
Now all our plans that used to be passing us by
You say you wanna be free

[Verse 3]
Why'd you have to leave me?
Girl, I wouldn't leave you
I gotta have you
Girl, I gotta have you
Why'd you have to leave now?

I've gotta have you
Girl, I gotta have you
I really need you
I really, really need you
Wasting my time

[Chorus]
Wasting my time, running after you, girl
Wasting my time, still I feel a sense of love
Never be mine, you're someone else's lady
Always on my mind, that I could steal your love away

Wasting my time, running after you, girl
Wasting my time
Never be mine, you're someone else's lady
Always on my mind, that I could steal your love away

Wasting my time
Wasting my time, still I feel a sense of love
Never be mine, you're just someone else's lady

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
