Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If we can't get along
We ought to be apart
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free, sign my release
I'm tired of being a villain of the peace
[Chorus]
You've been giving me bad times, tell me, what'd I do?
I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you
Saying them things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
[Verse 2]
You only get one life, and this I know
I want to get my licks in now before I go
Fire of love is dead and cold
I got to satisfy the hunger in my soul
[Chorus]
You've been giving me bad times, tell me, what'd I do?
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
Saying the things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
[Instrumental]
If we can't get along
We ought to be apart
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free, sign my release
I'm tired of being a villain of the peace
[Chorus]
You've been giving me bad times, tell me, what'd I do?
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
Saying things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
How come I always get a hard time, honey, when it comes to you?
