Don't waste your time or mind
What are you saying
I don't think you know
You're saying
this and that
It doesn't make any sense
I know, where you're coming from
I know you better then you know yourself
Don't try to lie
Don't look at me with that silly look on your face
A word, you don't have to say
so please don't waste your time or mind
That lipstick mark on your shirt
speaks for itself
