[Verse 2]
You keep talkin', who you trying to kid?
Tryin' to keep your feelings hid
And I'm a prisoner of the past
It's so hard to make a good thing last
We know history
Over and over, will it repeat?
Hey, you, it's only me
No heart on my sleeve
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
[Verse 2]
Hey, girl, be a man
Why'd you let it get out of hand?
Hey, boy, be a girl
Who wants to live in a man's world?
Come down, feel the ground
We can't keep going 'round and around
I know it's only you
Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse?
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
[Bridge]
Hey, boy, serves you right
Why'd you have to take that bite?
Hey, girl, play your game
God knows they're all the same
Hey, girl, listen up
No use drinkin' from that broken cup
Hey, man, feel the fear
Someday I'm gonna catch your tears
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
Love is, love is, love is...
Here we go now
Love is, love is, love is...
So here we go
Love is, love is, love is...
Here we go now
You keep talkin', who you trying to kid?
Tryin' to keep your feelings hid
And I'm a prisoner of the past
It's so hard to make a good thing last
We know history
Over and over, will it repeat?
Hey, you, it's only me
No heart on my sleeve
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
[Verse 2]
Hey, girl, be a man
Why'd you let it get out of hand?
Hey, boy, be a girl
Who wants to live in a man's world?
Come down, feel the ground
We can't keep going 'round and around
I know it's only you
Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse?
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
[Bridge]
Hey, boy, serves you right
Why'd you have to take that bite?
Hey, girl, play your game

Someday I'm gonna catch your tears
[Chorus]
Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don't we know it could be so beautiful?
It's too real, situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is a big scary animal
A big scary animal
Love is, love is, love is...
Here we go now
Love is, love is, love is...
So here we go
Love is, love is, love is...
Here we go now
