Never seems to go away
Everything I say and do to you
Is wrong in every way
And I cannot believe anything you say is real
I do everything I can to prove to you
Exactly how I feel
And this has got to change
It's gotta go away
I'm so sick of screaming
Sick out fighting with you every day
So down down baby calm down
You gotta take control now
You gotta watch yourself now

Time and time again
Always gotta find a way to make you happy
Try to take you to that special place
Now try and try to see
Try to be just what you need
Never feeling good enough for you
Never seeing what you see
So think before you speak
Don't say things that you'll regret
You'll criticize you'll never realize
That things don't come to you like that
So down down baby calm down
You gotta take control now
You gotta watch yourself now

(and then I take it away)
You're not the only one who knows me
And makes me feel this way
Not the only one who told me
That I'll never change
You're not the only one who showed me
A darker side of you
Not the only one who knows me
And feels like I do

Play me? day by day
These little games you play
It's so hard to keep my temper
When you fucking call me names
I cannot believe the things you do to me
All I try to do is right by you
And still get blamed for everything
Let's spend the night you'll see you'll realize
You'll never criticize and things will work out easily
So down down baby calm down
You gotta take control now
You gotta watch yourself now

(and then I take it away)
You're not the only one who knows me
And makes me feel this way
Not the only one who told me
That I'll never change
You're not the only one who showed me
A darker side of you
Not the only one who knows me
And feels like I do
