All is fair I'm trying to make you notice me but you don't care You play me like a broken game of Snakes and Ladders Or cards or piano or a record that's been thrown in the trash I like you I've liked you since I saw you walking down my street I like your little vibe and your clothes and feet And your hair and your eyes and your Nose and your face and your life I know your name And I've got your number I don't wanna save the world I just wanna waste some time with you We're both so young We might as well face it I don't wanna change nothing I just wanna waste some time with you Three blind mice I may as well be asking them for stable advice Instead I'm on a seesaw all day and night And all week and all month and all year all my life I'm only human If only you could see You do some pretty crazy little things to me And I don't wanna change the course of history I just want you to be, next to someone like me And be free 'Cause I know your name And I've got your number I don't wanna save the world I just wanna waste some time with you We're both so young We might as well face it I don't wanna change nothing I just wanna waste some time with you Wasting time Wasting time with you Wasting time Wasting time with you Now you know My thoughts about where I would like the story to go I feel that if you really like to play it cool We should do it, do it, do it, yeah I know your name And I've got your number I don't wanna save the world I just wanna waste some time with you We're both so young We might as well face it I don't wanna change nothing I just wanna waste some time with you I know your name I got your number I don't wanna save the world I just wanna waste some time with you We're both so young We might as well face it I don't wanna change nothing at all I just wanna waste some time with you
