Okay – first let me tell you 'bout my side of the story.
Starts out easy enough, then becomes a real nightmare.

Friday night and I'm outside your door.
Waste of time, waste of time.
Box of candy and a dozen roses.
Waste of time, waste of time.
Fancy dinner and the midnight show.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.

Cute little dress and shiny black boots.
Waste of time, waste of time.
Walkin' like a model strutin' down the runway.
Waste of time, waste of time.
How'd you do was all I could say.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.

Now – you'll probably hear this from her – that I was the bad boy.
Well, she's got it all wrong.
And how would I know? Well, let me tell ya.

We drove right up to the restaurant.
Waste of time, waste of time.
As she got off the car I caught her flirtin' around.
Winking at the valet in the parking lot,
It's a waste of time, waste of time.

Left me behind in the shadows.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.
Just a lonely soul from the ghettos.
Waste of time, waste of time.
All my friends say I should forget her.
Waste of time, waste of time.
But to my eyes there ain't nothin' better.
Waste of time, waste of time.

Don't you go makin' my mistake.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.
You'll regret every minute of the love you make.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.
Turn your tail and hit the road
It's a waste of time, waste of time.
Don't even look back for a second.
It's a waste of time, waste of time.
