Lyrics

I can't give you anything but love
But you don't want, none of the above
And I try to give you everything I got (ah-hah)
But you want more than I can give and no I'm not
You played with my heart, babe
You tear my world apart
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
It's alright (come on, babe)
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
It's alright (no, it ain't)
She put the old man down in his place
Hot dog, kickin' down dirty man
Oh, what a disgrace now!
And I try to give you everything I got
But you want more than I can give and no I'm not
(And no, and no, and no, no, no, no, ahh)
You played with my heart, babe
You tear my world apart (au)
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
It's alright (come on, babe)
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
It's alright (no, it ain't)
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
It's alright
