[Verse 1]
You were a swimmer in your college days
Think I was learning how to drive back then
You were a killer, or so you keep telling me
Yeah, we're still talking 'bout the people you've been, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
I take the high road, I say, "How interesting"
I say that you make me think
I take the spare room, I hope for the real thing
You say, "Hi," in the morning, you say
[Chorus]
I could love you baby, but I don't have the time
I'm too busy living in the back of my mind
I wanna be a big star, is that such a crime?
I swear I think I love you, I just don't havе the time right now
[Verse 2]
I found a lettеr from your college flame
You made it look just like an accident
Well, does it do it for you when I don't know what to say?
I wasn't bitter, but I should've been, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
I take the high road, I say that she's crazy
That makes two of us, I think, you say
[Chorus]
I could love her maybe, but I don't have the time
I'm too busy living in the back of my mind
I wanna be a big star, is that such a crime?
I swear I think I love you, I just don't have the time
[Bridge]
Well, you think you're so good for not leaving it
And I think you're lying when you say I can't handle this
Baby, you're right, but that's none of your business
You've got no dog in this fight if you can't even feel it
[Chorus]
'Cause you could love me, baby, but you're caught in a lie
And I can't keep living in the back of your mind
So go and be a big star, you'll get what's mine
I swear I never loved you, I just thought I should try
[Outro]
Yeah, I could love you baby, but I don't have the time (Don't have the time)
I'm too busy living in the back of my mind (Back of my mind)
I wanna be a big star, is that such a crime?
I swear I think I love you, I just don't have the time
