Chill out, whatcha 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
Somebody else, 'round everyone else.
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're try'n' to be cool,
You look like a fool to me.
Tell me
(chorus)
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
See, the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated.
Life's like this, you,
You fall, and you crawl,
And you break, and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty. Promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it.
No, no, no.
You come over, unannounced,
Dressed up like you're something else.
Where you are ain't 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 you're not fooling anyone
When you become
Somebody else, 'round everyone else.
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're try'n' to be cool,
You look like a fool to me.
Tell me
(chorus)
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
See, the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated.
Life's like this, you,
You fall, and you crawl,
And you break, and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty. Promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it.
No, no, no.
