LYRICS

Uh huh
Lifes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
Thats the way it is
(La, la, la, la)
Cause life’s like this
(La la, la, la)
Uh huh, uh huh
That’s the way it is

Chill out, what you yellin’ for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if you could only let it be

You would see I like you the way you are
When we’re drivin in your car
And you’re talkin to me one-on-one
But you’ve become somebody else
Round everyone else
You’re watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool to me, tell me

Why’d you have to go
And make things so complicated
I see the way you’re acting
Like you’re somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life’s like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get
And you turn it into honesty
You promised me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you’re somethin’ else
Where you are and where it’s at, you see
You’re makin’ me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you’re not foolin’ anyone

When you become somebody else
Round everyone else
You’re watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool to me, tell me

Why’d you have to go
And make things so complicated
I see the way you’re acting
Like you’re somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life’s like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get
And you turn it into honesty
You promised me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no (no) no, no
No, no, no (no) no, no
No, no, no (no) no, no

Chill out, what you yellin’ for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if you could only let it be

You would see I like you the way you are
When we’re drivin in your car
And you’re talkin to me one-on-one
But you’ve become somebody else
Round everyone else
You’re watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool to me, tell me

Why’d you have to go
And make things so complicated
I see the way you’re acting
Like you’re somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life’s like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get
And you turn it into honesty
You promised me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no

Why’d you have to go (yeah-yeah)
And make things so complicated
I see the way you’re acting
Like you’re somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life’s like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get
And you turn it into honesty
You promised me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
