Justin Bieber - Sorry

        
        History

          Born on March 1, 1994, in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, Justin Bieber was raised by a single mom in the small town of Stratford. Bieber, whose debut album, My World, hit stores in November 2009, is a true overnight success, having gone from an unknown, untrained singer whose mother posted YouTube clips of her boy performing, to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal, all in just two years.

          Bieber always had an interest in music. His mother gave him a drum kit for his second birthday and, as he tells it, he was "basically banging on everything I could get my hands on." But it was an obscure talent contest in his hometown, in which the 12-year-old Bieber finished second that put him on the road to superstardom. As a way to share his singing with family, Justin and his mom began posting clips of Bieber performing covers of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Ne-Yo on YouTube. Within months, Justin was an Internet sensation, with a large following of fans, and an eager manager arranging for the teenager to fly to Atlanta to consider a record deal. There, Bieber had a chance meeting with Usher, who eventually signed the young singer to a contract. (Taken from Wikipedia: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Justin_Bieber)

I wanna waste my time on you - The Crookes

The Crookes are a British indie rock band who formed in Sheffield in 2008. They released their first single "A Collier's Wife" in 2009 as part of the Too Pure singles club, followed by single "Bloodshot Days" that was released on Heist or Hit Records in 2010. Signed to London independent record label Fierce Panda Records, they have subsequently released three albums, Chasing After Ghosts(2011), Hold Fast (2012) and Soapbox (2014), along with an extended EP Dreams Of Another Day (2010).

"'I Wanna Waste My Time On You' is about wanderlust and adventure, about seeing the world, about indulging in hedonistic pleasures without once feeling apologetic for it," lyricist and guitarist Daniel Hopewell says of the song.

If wanderlust If wanderlust's replaced with love It sounds to me a lot like giving up Still it's so strange that every time I run away I'm left behind. I wanna waste my time on you I wanna waste my time on you Spinnin' round the skyline, golden gates, the 52 I wanna waste my time on you My ribs are cracked, my ribs are cracked, oh poor St. Jude I wanna waste, waste my time on you ‘cos you got me hooked I'm down on my knees If they say we're trash, we'll float on the breeze. I wanna waste my time on you I wanna waste my time on you Spinning round the skyline, Brighton Beach and Bakerloo I wanna waste my time Waste my time on you Oh, I don't know where I belong I don't know where I've gone wrong. I wanna waste my time on you Waste my time on you Spinning round the skyline, when everything was new All that I can do is waste my time on you Waste my time on you Spinning round the skyline, perfectly aligned Wanna waste my time on you.

I Ain't the girl

Ain't gonna tell you any lies
I got a thing for long-haired guys
You can keep your suit and tie
find a pretty little wife
I ain't the girl you're looking for
I ain't the girl next door
I ain't the girl for you

You're too clean cut with all your shoes
I like em rugged with tattoos
You drive a rally fancy car
I like a truck with rusty parts
I ain't the girl you're looking for
I ain't the girl next door
I ain't the girl for you

So go ahead darlin find somebody new
I'll never be the one you can hold your body to
If you can't light my fire babe then you can never do
I ain't the girl for you, no, I ain't the girl for you.

So you can go ahead and try
pretend like you're some other guy
I'll never be another girl

I'll never fit into your world
I ain't the girl you're looking for
I ain't the girl next door
I ain't the girl for you

So go ahead darlin find somebody new
I'll never be the one you can hold your body to
If you can't light my fire babe then you can never do
I ain't the girl for you, no, I ain't the girl for you.

I'll never be the kind to fit into your perfect life, the perfect life,
the perfect family
I'm sorry to inform you dear, I'm not close, not even near
the perfect girl will never be me.

So go ahead darlin find somebody new
I'll never be the one you can hold your body to

If you can't light my fire babe then you can never do
I ain't the girl for you, no, I ain't the girl for you.
I ain't the girl for you, no, I ain't the girl for you.
