Clearly I'm a genius, if she only knew it
But somewhere in her radius I really blew it
I know, I know what I said to her and I know what I did
What I don't know is how I could ever be so incredibly stupid

You don't really need to know every last detail
It's hardly worth telling
It's suffice to say I said that I would be there
But I never came through

So maybe I'm a genius and she just don't see it
I fronted, I should have admitted she saw right through it
I never thought that I could be so underhanded
Somehow I've cornered the market on the double standard

You don't really need to know every last detail
It's hardly worth telling
It's suffice to say I said that I would be there
I never came through

For this act of genius and so many others
I know I should apologize and see how it goes

What am I waiting for?
Come on, come on, come on, come on
What am I waiting for?
Come on, come on, come on, come on

What am I waiting for?
Come on, come on, come on, come on
What am I waiting for?
To all of the geniuses
Come on, come on

You don't really need to know every last detail
It's hardly worth telling
It's suffice to say I said that I would be there
I never came through
