Lyrics
Life's like this, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this, that's the way it is

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've become

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, why 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 and 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

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've become

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, why 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 and 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

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

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, why 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 and 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

Why 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 and 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
