I Don't Wanna Waste
Ben l'Oncle Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the living proof I can be changed
'Cause before us love was just a game
But how did you do I can't explain
You're the one who leave the greater stain

Wherever you are I wanna be
I have you under my skin
Always is (Oh! It's this?)
And every time that you leave me there
I restrain myself not to go
No, no, no, no ,no, no, no

'Cause I don't know much about today
I don't really care for yesterday
All I know is you and me are a pair
You're the first one I don't wanna waste
No, no, no, no ,no

I can't spend my days thinking of you
'cos I gotta work and gotta eat
You're the one subject I can't forget
Please girl give me a break
How come we still get along
'Cos every time that you smile at me
I know I melt like (?)

'Cause I don't know much about today
I don't really care for yesterday
All I know is you and me are a pair
You're the first one I don't wanna waste
No, no, no, no ,no

I can move forward with a girl like you
That's why I can't let go
I have the feeling you're my everything
Always, yes

'Cause I don't know much about today
I don't really care for yesterday
All I know is you and me are a pair
You're the first one I don't wanna waste
No, no, no, no ,no

'Cause I don't know much about today
I don't really care for yesterday
All I know is you and me are a pair




You're the first one I don't wanna waste
No, no, no, no ,no
