Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
You belong to someone else
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Don't you remember the days
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely
I prayed for only you, my love
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Don't you remember the days
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely
I prayed for only you, my love
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Fender wrote and recorded "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights", a blues ballad, for Duncan Records in 1959, early in his career. He was in the process of creating a mesh of rockabilly and Tejano, and the song showcased his new style. But he was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, and in May 1960, he was convicted.
Fender also recorded a Spanish-language version, entitled "Noches y días perdidos".
