[Verse 1]
I
Want someone dependable
You
Prefer expendable
I won't realize til we've played our game
Always looking for better options
Picking people like human auction
Look for better; settle for second-rate
[Chorus 1a]
You don't want this anyway
I hate the game but still I'll play
Here's my number
Hit me up some other time
If you want it
You can have it
Drop me like a dirty habit
You don't even have to tell me why
[Chorus 1b]
Just make some shit up if it helps you sleep at night
We're all looking out for number one, babe!
[Verse 2]
I must be out of my mind to keep
Wasting my time chasing
People who won't even give me the time of day
You show no interest until you're pushed away
I acted like it doesn't bug me to see you leave without a trace
And as we sit there in the HiLo
I thought let's end this on a low note
[Chorus 2a]
So little time; look how I spend it
Feeling bored and discontented
Start walking home right past the colored lights
Walk outside; now it's me who's leaving
Ears gone deaf to empty pleading
See you maybe in another life
[Chorus 2b]
I'm not trying to be vindictive
I'm just getting real sick of this shit
[Chorus 3]
I don't want this anyway
Beg all you like but I won't stay
Lose my number
Try me in another life
If you want it
You can't have it
Had your chance, but now I've had it
Babe don't waste my time
