[Intro]

Act like that, act like that

Once I snapped and you snapped right back

When you act like that

Yeah we act like that

Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs

[Hook]

Why we gotta act like we don't know nothin' about each other?

Like all we had was hatred for one another

Like we knew that it was gonna fall apart

But if it does, you'll take a piece of my heart (with ya)

Why we gotta act like that? Act like that

Once I snapped and you snapped right back

And we act like that, yeah we act like that

Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs

[Verse 1]

I'm tryna make a livin' here, and I'm ridin'

Startin' to feel like what we have is bad timin'

But you ain't gotta worry, 'cause I ain't in a hurry

And my life before I met you was seemin' a little blurry

Now, I don't have much and sorry if you're mad

But the best that I can do is give you everything I have

And it's sad... I think this is what it is

We gotta learn to survive before trying to live

'Cause otherwise... I'd just be like the other guys

Then you'd feel neglected, and not at all respected

But if you put it all into perspective, I'll confess it

'Cause the last thing that you want is to be guessin', right?

Baby, come closer, I don't bite

We gotta believe that everything will be alright

'Cause right now, it might seem like we're stranded in a cave

When you're in the darkness, you forget what you repaid(?)

What you built over a long time in a relationship

The memories, if they were paper, I couldn't staple it

Need a file cabinet for storage

My microwave is broken and our love is cold porage

And I can't fix it, can't afford it, so I throw it in the oven

It might take a little longer, but it won't amount to nothin'

And once we come out fresh baked, you can't ignore it

'Cause the smell is emanating from your mating's little warm(?), and we gotta

[Hook]

Act like we don't know nothin' about each other?

Like all we had was hatred for one another

Like we knew that it was gonna fall apart

But if it does, you'll take a piece of my heart (with ya)

Why we gotta act like that? Act like that

Once I snapped and you snapped right back

And we act like that, yeah we act like that

Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs

[Verse 2]

Uh, yo, I'm hoping that you're listenin'

The darkness of the shadows ain't preventin' us from glistenin'

And shinin', gleamin', and girl I know you care for me

And this isn't a song, maybe, baby, this is therapy

Yeah. Have you forgotten? Got amnesia?

Baby, you're the cheese on my pepperoni pizza

That was kinda cheesy, perhaps a little childish

But you're all that I see when I close my eyelids (hah)

And life is short, but love is timeless

And damnit is your smile is(?) reddin' like a virus(?)

But I like this illness, so send me to the E.R

'Cause baby got me breathless, give me CPR

'Cause I just need some air in my lungs

For this song to be sung

For death I am far too young

You're the only one, no one else on my list

So we're living like tomorrow doesn't exist

No, please, I insist, take a piece of my heart, it's

Yours to keep, just don't spill it on the carpet

Sorry, can't give you all of it, gotta use it

'Cause every word I speak is from my heart and to the music

Now, let's live it out, no guaranteed tomorrow

But don't lead me on, 'cause you're a hard act to follow

Let's live it out, no guaranteed tomorrow

But don't lead me on, 'cause you're a hard act to follow

[Hook]

Why we gotta act like we don't know nothin' about each other?

Like all we had was hatred for one another

Like we knew that it was gonna fall apart

But if it does, you'll take a piece of my heart (with ya)

Why we gotta act like that? Act like that

Once I snapped and you snapped right back

And we act like that, yeah we act like that

Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs
