[Intro]

1... 2... 3... 4...

Let's try that again

1... 2... 3... 4

[Verse 1]

A little bit of life

And a little bit of love

Go a little ways away

To the mountains up above

A little of your heart

And a little of mine too

They will unite one day

Or at least I hope they do

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I honestly wonder what love is

And I can't expect to be told

But I do know who my favorite dove is

Even if my heart is getting old

[Chorus]

Why must I

Be trapped with myself

[Verse 2]

A little bit of dark

And a little bit of light

Neither one of those will stop me

From trying to find delight

I look a little sad

And I look a little weird

But I'll try to be happy

Even when my eyes are teared

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I've always wondered how the heart works

But I don't expect to find out

And I wonder if I'm one of the jerks

Who never does anything but pout

[Chorus]

Why must I

Be trapped with myself

[Verse 3]

A little bit of that

And a little bit of this

Go together like two lovers

Who forget to hug and kiss

A little of the sun

And a little of the moon

The sky ominously hovers

It's all happening too soon

[Pre-Chorus 3]

The people who I like are everywhere

But I don't think they'd talk to a rat

And their conversations are crystal clear

But I don't even know where they're at

[Final Chorus]

Why do I

Inconvenience myself (oh)

Why am I

So obsessed with myself (I don't know)

Why can't I

Be true to myself
