I'm wasting time Thinking about a girl And stealing her away From her world She and I would run away I think of all the things that I'd say We'd talk about important things And I picture it in my dreams She'd teach me About modern art And I'd show her It's OK to fart and Maybe I'd impress her By being in a band and Maybe if I act real tough She'd let me hold her hand and Maybe I'll win her heart By writing this song about her Sometimes I sit at home and Wonder if she's sitting at home Thinking of me and Wondering if I'm Sitting at home, Thinking about her Or am I just wasting my time Remembering how She laughed at Kinko's When I made fun of that guy Remembering the look She gave me When I told her that I used to fly I really want to ask her out But my ego could never take it And even if I got the balls You know that the Cougar Would never make it And in my town You can't drive naked And maybe I'd impress her By being in a band and Maybe if I act real tough She'd let me hold her hand and Maybe I'll win her heart By writing this song about her Sometimes I sit at home and Wonder if she's sitting at home Thinking of me and Wondering if I'm Sitting at home, Thinking about her Or am I just wasting my time Am I just wasting my time Wasting my time Thinking about a girl
