[Verse 1]
Erik and I are the best of friends
Though I'm not sure if he knows that yet
Lately he's been making some questionable decisions
But I'm pretty sure I can talk some sense back into him

[Chorus]
Just relax, struggling will only give you rope burn
You know my terms, they're simple yet you disobey my orders
I'd hate to see you hurt but how else will I ever get through to you?
All I want, yes, all I want is what is the very best for you

[Post-Chorus]
Come on, you're killin' me
Come on, you're killin' me

[Verse 2]
Just as the ancient proverb says
It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again
I've got this theory that you wouldn't really like that
But if you betray me I'm happy to test that

[Chorus]
Just relax, struggling will only give you rope burn
You know my terms, they're simple yet you disobey my orders
I'd hate to see you hurt but how else will I ever get through to you?
All I want, yes, all I want is what is the very best for you
[Post-Chorus]
Come on, you're killin' me
Come on, you're killin' me

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Just relax, struggling will only give you rope burn
You know my terms, they're simple yet you disobey my orders
I'd hate to see you hurt but how else will I ever get through to you?
All I want, yes, all I want is what is the very best for you

[Chorus]
Just relax, struggling will only give you rope burn
You know my terms, they're simple yet you disobey my orders
I'd hate to see you hurt but how else will I ever get through to you?
All I want, yes, all I want is what is the very best for you

[Post-Chorus]
Come on, you're killin' me
