I hear you loud and clear, I need you when you're here

You just need to be alone, Oh, I feel it when you're gone

I hear you loud and clear You just need to be alone

I need you when you're here And I feel you when you're gone

Why you treat love like a riddle? Baby, come meet in the middle

You acting like this is so complicated When really this could be so simple

So tell me all your fears And I swear that I won't fold

If you show me how you feel Then I think that we would know

Why you treat love like it's typical? You know it's more than just physical

Baby, go figure, read you like a book And you played me like a fiddle

Baby, don't play like you know me I'm not the man that you once knew

If I ever shed tears over you Better believe that I undo

I wear my heart on my sleeve And all of the scars that are from you

Mr. Mysterious in the building, All eyes when I come through

The way that you think, so cynical, Damage you do to me, critical

Cannot be trusting in fables, Need me a love that is stable

Baby, don't front like you own me I'm not the man that you run to

Now that I'm married to the game I ain't the man that you once knew

Everything you do, girl, it's standing out

All that I've been through, used to thuggin' out

Everything I do, do you notice now?

And so I,

I hear you loud and clear You just need to be alone

I need you when you're here And I feel you when you're gone

Why you treat love like a riddle? Baby, come meet in the middle

You acting like this is so complicated, when really this could be so simple

So tell me all your fears And I swear that I won't fold

If you show me how you feel Then I think that we would know

Why you treat love like it's typical? You know it's more than just physical

Baby, go figure, read you like a book And you played me like a fiddle

Love like a riddle

Why you treat love like a riddle

Love like a riddle
