The same old story

A girl meets a boy

And they fall in love too fast

But there's nobody

Who can reason with you

Before that sensation comes to pass



And you say you're in for the long haul

But your action's provin' otherwise

Boy, you don't have a leg to stand on

It's the same shit every time



We've been havin' hard times

Livin' off the old times

Make believin' everything is fine

Yeah, we've been havin' hard times

But I think it's 'bout time

That we make a change and do it right



You know I love you

With all of my heart

But it's an ache in my soul

And don't you know

I've been feeling more like your mom than a girl

And it's takin' its toll



So don't say you don't see it comin'

I've been givin' you all the signs

And don't play baby games with my heart

I've been workin' for you overtime



[Chorus]



Baby, I've been tryin' to be patient

But it's getting kind of hard

Because you're makin' me pick up the slack

And you've been good at lovin' me

But there is more that goes into it

Than just all of that



You've been havin' hard times

But I think it's about time

That we make a change and do it right



[Chorus]
