Back in the day we were kids on the playground And everybody was trying to put us down Seems like no one wanted us around And even, baby, when we got home There was one place we'd go to be alone And even though we were on our own It's okay Another day spent in the basement Another day spent wasting time Another day spent in the basement Another day spent wasting time Yeah wasting time One day evening Sitting downstairs We were sitting between the boxes and chairs And she looks at me with those big blue eyes And included me into her big surprise She used to be the cutest girl in the world But now she's looking at other girls She used to be the cutest girl in the world But now she's looking at other girls She used to be the cutest girl in the world But now she's looking at other girls She used to be the cutest girl in the world But now she's looking at other girls What can I say She was a curl in my coffee Picked me up and then she dropped me Now I can't even get her to talk to me Another day spent in the basement Another day spent wasting time Another day spent in the basement Another day spent wasting time Yeah wasting time Gotta find a girl That I can please I don't know what to do 'Cause I've been swinging with the same old chick Since 1962
