And I'm just a waste of her energy
And she's just a waste of my time
So why don't we get together
and we could waste everything tonight
yeah we could waste everything tonight
yeah, ohhh
And I don't pretend to know what you know, nah nah
so please don't pretend to know whats on my mind
we already know everything that everybody knows
we would have nothing to learn tonight
and we would have nothing to show tonight
yeah, ohh
(this part is G chord to A chord)
and everybody thinks that everybody knows about
everybody else but nobody knows
anything about themselves
cause they're all worried about everybody else
