[Verse 1]

Well seeing you I'm not seeing you

It's so cruel

I'm conflicted don't you take me for a fool

See every time I listen to your words I get blue

You'd think by now we surely could have learned


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm asking if there's a way to help myself

'Cause I don't really want to be with no one else


[Chorus]

'Cause you gotta step up

Step up to the task baby

My high standards weren't set by you

Step up to the task baby

My high standards won't be falling for you

Falling for you

Falling, falling for you


[Verse 2]

Well seeing you I've gotta see you

It's a shame

When clearly there is only us to blame

When everything's just starting to heal baby I get burned

You'd think by now we surely could have learned


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm asking if there's a way to help myself

'Cause I don't really want to be with no one else


[Chorus]

But you gotta step up

Step up to the task baby

My high standards weren't set by you

Step up to the task baby

My high standards won't be falling for you

Falling for you

Falling, falling for you


[Bridge]

But you're holding on to me with your heart

So keep holding on to me

But you're holding on to me with those arms

So keep holding on to me


[Chorus]

'Cause you gotta step up

Step up to the task baby

My high standards weren't set by you

Step up to the task baby

My high standards won't be falling for you, you, you yeah

Won't be falling for you, you, you yeah

Won't be falling for you
