Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah

[Verse 2]

And I'm just a waste of her energy, and she's just wasting my time

So why don't we get together and we could waste everything tonight?

And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight, yeah

And we could waste and we could waste it all

[Verse 3]

And I don't pretend to know what you know, no no

Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind

If we already knew everything that everybody knows

We would have nothing to learn tonight

And we would have nothing to show tonight

[Verse 4]

Oh, but everybody thinks that everybody knows about everybody else

Nobody knows anything about themselves

'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yeah

Yeah, mmm, oh

[Verse 5]

And love's just a waste of our energy, yeah

And this life's just a waste of our time

So why don't we get together, we could waste everything tonight

And we could waste and we could waste it all, yeah

[Verse 6]

But everybody thinks that everybody knows about everybody else

No-no-nobody knows anything about themselves

'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yeah

Oh

And we could waste
