[Verse 1]
Take five, we been at it all night
Not a sorry in the world I ain't already said
Ugh, Christ, getting hard to be nice

Hey, you
All of the time you wasted being mad
We could've been cute and we could've been stupid
Hey, you
All of the time you wasted in your head
We could've been having sex
You could've been gettin' all of my time
But you were being mad
[Verse 2]

Puff on a cigarette, face all Marlboro red

Pull the bitter taste out
Baby, you can have me instead
Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad

Hey, you
All of the time you wasted being mad

Hey, you
All of the time you wasted in your head
We could've been having sex
You could've been gettin' all of my time
But you were being mad
[Bridge]
Don't give me that shoulder, come get closer
God, it's pissing me off
I wanna get mad at you, right back at you
But it's kinda hot
[Chorus]
All of the time you wasted being mad
We could've been cute and we could have been stupid
Hey, you
All of the time you were fucking with my head
We could've been having sex
You could've been gettin' all of my time
But you were being mad
[Outro]
Could've been getting head
