2.- Lyrics
Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, 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 will 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
(Chorus 1)
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You tryna be cool
You look like a fool to me
(Chorus 2)
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 a nd you take what you get
and you turn it into
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at
you see, y ou'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
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
No, no, no (X5)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
No, no
(Repeat Chorus 2)
No, no, no
