[Verse 1]
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
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've become

[Pre-Chorus]
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 do 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
Promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
Oh, no, no

[Verse 2]
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you aren't 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've become
[Pre-Chorus]
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 do 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
You promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
Oh, no, no

[Bridge]
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be, you will see

[Pre-Chorus]
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 do 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
You promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
Oh, no, no
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
