Last of the Big Time Spenders

Artist: Billy Joel Album: Streetlife Serenade Category: Pop
Well if money makes a rich man
Then I might never make the grade
I'll 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 I'm the last of the big time spenders
'Cause I've been spending time on you

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

Though it seems like the day is wasted
And the nights have been overdue

Then I'm the last of the big time spenders
'Cause I've been spending time on you

It's been so long since we got together
In between it seems to take forever
But I'm a dreamer, I'll be there soon
It takes time to appreciate
All of those that you can learn to hate
I believe, I've seen it through

You can call me the Great Pretender
And in a way it might be true

Then I'm the last of the big time spenders
'Cause I've been spending time on you
