[Verse 1]

I don't know what to think of it

Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I love it

Girl, this relationship we're in

To say the least it's puzzling

Like a crossword puzzle, fill in the blanks


[Chorus]

What's four down and twelve across?

Two letter synonym for lost, that's me

And a three letter word that rhymes with through

Oh I get it, that's you


[Verse 2]

Never believed in horoscopes

But to the left of the ad for a new dishwashing soap

Dear Abby's got some good advice

For a troubled couple lost in paradise

In the living section, page two


[Chorus]

What's four down and twelve across?

Two letter synonym for lost, that's me

And a three letter word that rhymes with through

Oh, I get it, that's you


[Bridge]

That's me, that's us

Sometimes love ain't enough

We try and try

For the life of me, why did we give up?


[Chorus]

What's four down and twelve across?

Two letter synonym for lost, that's me

And a three letter word that rhymes with through

Oh, I get it, that's you


[Outro]

That's me

Oh, that's us

What's four down and twelve across?

That's us
