[Verse 1]

Chill out, what you yelling for?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be, you will see

I like you the way you are

When we're driving in your car

And you're talking to me one-on-one

But you become

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watching your back like you can't relax

You're try to be cool

But you look like a fool to me

Tell me

[Chorus]

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Actin' like you're somebody else, getting me frustrated

When life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get

And you turn it into honesty

And promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no

[Verse 2]

You come over unannounced

Dressed up like you're someone else

Where you are and where it's at, you see

You're making me

Laugh out when you strike your pose

Take off all your preppy clothes

You know that you're not foolin' anyone

When you become

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watching your back like you can't relax

You're try to be cool

But you look like a fool to me

Tell me

[Chorus]

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're

Actin' like you're somebody else, getting me frustrated

When life's like this, you

And you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get

And you turn it into honesty

And promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no

[Outro]

No, no, no

No, ooh

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
