1st Verse:

I tried so hard to live my life with you

but you seem so cruel

you keep on making things complicated 

when it's not

I'm begging you baby stop



Chorus:

Why do we keep on hurting each other

why can't we just be lovers

love is mean't to last forever

but its impossible with you



Why do we keep on hurting each other

why can't we just be lovers

love is mean't to last forever

then why is it impossible with you.



2nd Verse:

You lose a real good thing if you ever lose me

you better take time to think

this love can work if we take the time to communicate

why don't we talk any more

(back to chorus)



3rd Verse:

My baby why can't you see what you doin' to me

you keep on hurting my heart, hurting my heart la la la la la la

my baby, why do I feel like I have to prove so much to you

(blessed is a man who tries to do the right thing)

(only the meek shall inherit earth)
