Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're my, baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

[Verse 2]

Here I am

I'm playin' daydreamin' fool again

My favorite game

And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above

You're the one that I love

[Verse 3]

And you're my, baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

[Verse 4]

I don't care

If being with you is meaningless

And ridiculous

If it's wrong or right

I'm gonna give you my love tonight

And tomorrow night

[Verse 5]

'Cause you're my, baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

[Verse 6]

Ooh, yeah, you're my, baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

[Verse 7]

And one last thing

I'm gonna give you my love tonight

And the bells gonna ring

[Verse 8]

'Cause you're my, baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time

My baby, you're my favorite waste of time
