[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?
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

You know that you're not foolin' anyone

No, no
[Outro]
No, no, no
No, ooh
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
