"Can't Be Wasting My Time" is the debut single by American contemporary R&B singer Mona Lisa. The song features a rap from American hip hop group The Lost Boyz.
Billboard's single review said "She is also given a memorable midtempo jam that pleases more with each spin. The only misfire of this single is the injection of tepid rapping by Lost Boyz, which distracts from Mona Lisa's juicy vamp and breaks the flow of the track."[1]
