[Verse 1]
Just like the wind takes the leaf from the tree
You always know how to dismantle me
And your sweet persuasion is making me weak
And that’s a comment not a compliment
Justification and apologies
Guess I’m susceptible to more tragedy
Cross your heart but there’s no guarantees
It’s not fair but who’s keeping score?

[Pre-Chorus]
How many times can a promise be broken?
Who taught you how to love?

[Chorus]
Are we on the same side?
We know how to play this game
You fall and then I’ll catch you
And then you kiss me good night
Close your eyes and think of me
I wanna be with you
Dreaming the same dream
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?

[Verse 2]
Put it away in little compartments
This didn’t happen by accident
I’ve got your back but you’re so broken
We always come back for more

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Who taught you how to love?
Who taught you how to love?
I try, I try, I try to understand
And there must be a good reason

[Chorus]
And are we on the same side?
We know how to play this game
You fall and then I’ll catch you
And then you kiss me good night
Close your eyes and think of me
I wanna be with you
Dreaming the same dream
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?
Why you playing around with me?
Are we dreaming the same dream?

No Doubt formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. They have created a decade-defining style and have arguably become one of the most recognized bands of their time. The band has consisted of vocalist and frontwoman Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, as well as several former members—including Gwen’s older brother Eric Stefani.

They found mainstream success following the release of their third studio album Tragic Kingdom in late 1995. It eventually landed at the top of the Billboard charts in 1996, and has sold over 8 million copies as of 2012.
