Acting like we're competition

We don't know how to listen

We're not playing on the same team

Babe, this ain't the way it oughta be

And sometimes you don't want to speak up

Don't mean that we gotta break up

Snowballin' every other issue

Don't mean you gotta be with someone new

Why we always gotta make it harder?

Need a lover, not a sparring partner

Turning easy into complicated

And all this back and forth is so frustrating

Give a little somewhere in the middle

If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple

Take my hand and let's go under

These sheets and roll around like thunder

When I'm pressed up against your body

I'll never ever want nobody else

Why we always gotta make it harder?

Need a lover, not a sparring partner

Turning easy into complicated

And all this back and forth is so frustrating

Give a little somewhere in the middle

If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple

Oh-oh, baby, let your guard down

Oh-oh, it's safe to let your heart out

Woah, I'll never want nobody else

Why we always gotta make it harder?

Need a lover, not a sparring partner

Turning easy into complicated

All this back and forth is so frustrating

Why we always gotta make it harder?

Need a lover, not a sparring partner

Turning easy into complicated

And all this back and forth is so frustrating

Give a little somewhere in the middle

If we gonna make it, let's make it simple

If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple
