Wasting Time
Dr. LaFlow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Running away, flea out the scene
Only cuz she actin mean
Easy to see that she can't be with me
It's easy to say that she's taking her time
When you wasted all my time
Wasted all my time
(Time)
I got fooled
It's been a full week since you've replied
Yeah, I know you lie
Yeah, I know you lie
Next time, I won't open my insides
Don't show that side
Don't show that side
Know I can't
Do the same mistake
Fall in love again
Don't need to wait It's too late
You did What you had to do
Did What you had to do
Did What you had to do

Running away, flea out the scene
Only cuz she actin mean
Easy to see that she can't be with me
It's easy to say that she's taking her time
When you wasted all my time




Wasted all my time
(Time)
