Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Je suis prête. Vous êtes prêt aussi?
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby, my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't give me one of your lines
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong
This is not a love song
Are you just being kind (no, oh)
Am I losing my mind (losing your mind)
Oh no, baby
Yeah
Are you wasting my time? (Wasting my time)
Are you just being kind?
Oh no baby, my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time? (time, time, time)
Are you just being kind? (huh?)
Don't go give me one of your lines
Ah, say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong (did you wrong)
This is not a love song, ooh
Ooh, are you just being kind?
What?
Am I losing my mind?
Mm, yeah
Don't
Wait
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
And those who run seem to have all the fun
But am I wasting my time (she's so fine)
Are you just being kind (no)
Contrary to what all your enemies told you
Show them now how I didn't do you wrong
That this is not a love song
Are you just being kind? (no, oh)
Am I losing my mind? (losing your mind)
Oh no, baby
Yeah
Are you wasting my time? (wasting my time)
Are you just being kind? (oh no, baby)
Oh no baby, my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time? (time, time, time)
Are you just being kind?
Don't go give me one of your lines
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide (hide)
That's how I feel, don't fog my mind
Mean what you say or baby I am gone
This is not a love song
Ooh, are you just being kind (embrasse-moi) (what?)
Am I losing my mind (pour la dernière fois)
Yeah
Love song, love song
Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you
I'm gone but I just want you to know (love song)
That this is not a love song that I want to sing
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby, my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't give me one of your lines
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong
This is not a love song
Are you just being kind (no, oh)
Am I losing my mind (losing your mind)
Oh no, baby
Yeah
Are you wasting my time? (Wasting my time)
Are you just being kind?
Oh no baby, my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time? (time, time, time)
Are you just being kind? (huh?)
Don't go give me one of your lines
Ah, say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong (did you wrong)
This is not a love song, ooh
Ooh, are you just being kind?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This song is great...very confrontational in a sexy kind of nighttime way lol.
