Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something in the way she never looks my way
I'm in love, I'm in love
Something in the way she doesn't hear a word I say
I'm in love, I'm in love
[PreChorus]
But people say we're not the same
She's out of my league, I'm insane
[Chorus]
Am I wasting my life waiting for you?
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Is it true?
Am I wasting my life on you?
So tell me it's not true, ooh-we-ooh
[Verse 2]
Something in the way she looked at me today
I'm in love, I'm in love
Something in the way she says for me to get away
I'm in love, I'm in love
[PreChorus]
But people say we're not the same
She's out of my league, I'm insane
[Chorus]
Am I wasting my life waiting for you?
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Is it true?
Am I wasting my life on you?
So tell me it's not true, ooh-we-ooh, yeah
[Instrumental]
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Is it true?
Am I wasting my life on—
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Is it true?
Am I wasting my life on you?
On you?
