Well if money makes a rich man
Then I might never make the grade
Ill be a small time operator
If I just get the landlord paid
But if time is an indication
Of the wealth that I never knew
Then Im the last of the big time spenders
cause Ive been spending time on you, woo oo oo woo

It takes time to appreciate
Lord knows that you can learn to hate it
I believe, cause Ive been there too
When it gets down to desperation
You make the best of the situation
I can tell, Ive seen it thru, oh, oh, oh

Though it seems like the day is wasted
And the nights have been overdue
Well, Im the last of the big time spenders
And Ive been spendin time on you, woo oo oo woo

Its been so long since we got together
In between it seems to take forever
But Im a dreamer, Ill be there soon

It takes time to appreciate
All of those that you can learn to hate
I believe, Ive seen it thru, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You can call me the great pretender
And in a way it might be true
But Im the last of the big time spenders
And Ive been spendin time on you, woo oo oo woo
