Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Typical of you, typical of me
It's difficult for both of us
Before we go to sleep we end up arguing
It doesn't matter what it was
[Verse 2]
I, I, ah, I
Don't know why we do it
Don't know why we do it
I, I, ah, I
Don't know why we do it
[Verse 3]
Butterfly's gonna keep on flyin'
Through the night in the wind and rain
You and I gotta keep on tryin' anyway, anyway
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change
This butterfly's gonna keep on flyin'
'Til it breaks
'Til it breaks
[Verse 4]
The sunshine in the room with anybody else
With you I can't control myself
Why do you push me so hard
Why do you take it so far
I don't even know myself
[Verse 5]
I, I, ah, I
Don't know why we do it
Don't know why we do it
I, I, ah, I
Don't know why we do it
[Verse 6]
Butterfly's gonna keep on flyin'
Through thenight in the wind and rain
You and I gotta keep on tryin' anyway, anyway
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change
This butterly's gonna' keep on flyin'
'Til it breaks
'Til it breaks
'Til it breaks
'Til it breaks
'Til it breaks
[Verse 7]
Don't know why
Don't know why
It's so hard
Hard to love
This butterfly
[Verse 8]
Baby I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Because I can't walk away
Baby I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Just the same
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change
This butterly's gonna keep on flyin'
'Til it breaks
