Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life's like this
That's the way it is
[Verse 2]
Cause life's like this
That's the way it is
[Verse 3]
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You would see
[Verse 4]
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've become
[Verse 5]
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
[Verse 6]
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
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
Honestly you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
[Verse 7]
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're making me
[Verse 8]
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you become
[Verse 9]
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
[Verse 10]
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
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
Honestly you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
[Verse 11]
(No) No no no
(No) No no no
(No) No no no
[Verse 12]
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You would see
[Verse 13]
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
[Verse 14]
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
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
Honestly you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
[Verse 15]
No no
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
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
Honestly you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
