WASTING MY TIME



Girl I try to understand you
But it's hard even if I try
Gazing into your big innocent eyes
Trying to figure what your thinking inside.

I do not want to be rude
Or out of place
Sometimes I don't want to intrude
Or to be on a chase
Making me confuse and I ask myself why?
What sorrow, do you want to cry?

Am I wasting my time
Is there someone else on your mind?
You are confused of feeling out of place,
Do my words have no meaning or rhyme,
Are my words too blunt or seem unkind,
Or you want to be the one in the chase?
Come on girl
Are you wasting my time?
