Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know I'm the one she loving
And I keep her coming
Baby can you give me something
Baby you just gotta say it
You should know I have no time for games
If you want we can role play
Like Beyoncé say my name
Don't walk out the door (Don't walk out that door)
Baby girl not for nothing
Been here since day one and
That's gotta stand for something
But I'm only after you
Baby you know it's true
And we both know we're do
Let's not waste no time
I don't got no time for the games
Nobody else is the same
I know you're the one for me
Let's not waste no time
You're the love of my life
Tryna make you my wife
Only gonna say it one time
Let's not waste no time
I can finesse it
Without being too overzealous
I pull ya heart piece by piece
Hold the lettuce
Don't forget it
Kiss ya body with so much effort
Gave you so much sugar the Kool-Aid was jealous
Pitcher that
I got the juice smiling
I ain't tryna waste no time I been deciding
I never knew a luh luh luh a love like this
You can look at the things that we got in common
I treat you like my day uno
If we ever break up we prolly stay cool though
I can't be with a girl if her energy is too low
If we a match I put it down it's like I play uno
And you know
That I'm a gentleman
Me and you together so let's settle in
Pedal to your love with rose petals I'll be delicate
All this love that I got I couldn't give you an estimate
I ain't wasting no time and that's definite
Let's not waste no time
I don't got no time for the games
Nobody else is the same
I know you're the one for me
Let's not waste no time
You're the love of my life
Tryna make you my wife
Only gonna say it one time
Let's not waste no time
I don't got no time for the games
Nobody else is the same
I know you're the one for me
Let's not waste no time
You're the love of my life
Tryna make you my wife
Only gonna say it one time
Let's not waste no time
Oh baby baby baby baby baby
I don't want to waste your time or waste my time
The lyrics to J-Live × Shag's song "No Time To Waste" talk about a relationship that is not a game and the commitment that both parties have towards each other. The opening lines suggest that the woman may be saying she loves someone else, but the singer knows that she loves him. He keeps her coming and asks her to give him something, and tells her he has no time for games. The singer suggests that they should roleplay and mentions Beyonce, indicating a desire to be intimate with her. He tells her not to walk out the door and that he's been there since day one, suggesting he has known her for a long time, and that the love between them must stand for something. He tells her that he's only after her and that she knows it too. Both parties know that they are going to do something, and they shouldn't waste any time.
In the second verse, the singer suggests that he can show how much he loves her without being too overzealous. He can gently pull her heart piece by piece, kiss her with much effort, and give her sugar like Kool-Aid. He shows his confidence when he says, "I got the juice smiling," indicating that he knows he has the goods. The singer mentions that he has never known love like this before and that they have many things in common. He treats her as if she is his day one, and if they ever break up, they'll still be friends. He tells her that he can't be with a girl whose energy is too low, and if they are a match, he'll put it down like he's playing Uno. He assures her that he's a gentleman and that he wants to settle down with her. He paints a romantic picture of rose petals and delicate love, and he tells her that he can't estimate the amount of love he has for her.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and commitment. Both parties are at a stage in their relationship where they do not want to waste any more time playing games. They see a future together and want to make that a reality. The song's title ties into its message, reminding the listener that time is precious and that we should not waste it.
