We're always in this situation

Your heart filling your head with doubt

But if you won't communicate then

We're never going to work this out

I know you think you've got your reasons

But I don't understand (help me understand)

Can't you see your wish is my command 

[Chorus:]

You better

(Tell me what you want to hear)

Pretend that I can't read your mind

(Baby make it crystal clear)

As if you were leading the blind

(Baby give me half a clue)

Don't make it so hard to prove

That I love you, like I do

I don't know how to prove it to you 

You make your heart so hard to get to

You put it on the highest shelf

Been hoping since the day I met you

That you would learn to love yourself

It doesn't matter what I do girl

It'll never be enough (never be enough)

Love was never meant to be this tough 

[Chorus:]

You just better

(Tell me what you want to hear)

Pretend that I can't read your mind

(Baby make it crystal clear)

As if you were leading the blind

(Baby give me half a clue)

Don't make it so hard to prove

That I love you, like I do

(Tell me all your hopes and fears)

My guess is they're probably mine

(We can sort them out right here)

Baby don't waste no more time

(Don't make it so hard to prove)

Don't make it so hard to prove

That I love you, like I do 

There's no other way that I know how

To put you at ease (how do I put you at ease)

But If I'm doing something wrong

Then please, baby please 

Tell me what you want to hear

Baby make it crystal clear

Don't make it so hard to prove

That I love you like you know I do 

[Chorus:]

Just tell

(Tell me what you want to hear)

Tell me what you want to hear

(Baby make it crystal clear)

Baby make it crystal clear

(Don't be makin' it so hard to prove)

Hard to prove

(That I'm loving you the way I do)

The way I do
