Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh-huh
Life's like this
Uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way it is (Ah)
(La-la-la, la, la) 'Cause life's like this
(Ah) Uh-huh, uh-huh
(La-la-la, la, la) That's the way it is
[Verse 1]
Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You would see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talkin' to me one on one
But you become
[PreChorus]
Somebody else
Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
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
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 and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at, you see
You're makin' me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not foolin' anyone
When you become
[PreChorus]
Somebody else
Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
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
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 and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
[Bridge]
No (No, no)
No, no, no (No, no)
(No, no) No, no, no
(No, no, no, no) No, no, no
(No, no, no, no) No, no
[Verse 3]
Mmm, chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You would see
[PreChorus]
Somebody else
Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
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
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 and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no
[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? (Hey)
I see the way you're actin' 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 and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
