Uh huh... life's like this.
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is.
'Cause life's like this.
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is.

Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before.
And if, you could only let it be... you will 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 actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
But life's like this, you--
You fall, and you crawl, and you break,
And you take what you get, and 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 making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes,
You know you're not fooling anyone when you've become

Somebody else around everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relaks
You're trying 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 actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
But life's like this, you--
You fall, and you crawl, and you break,
And you take what you get, and turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no...

(No, no, no...)

Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before.
And if, you could only let it be... you will see

Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying 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 actin' like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
But life's like this, you--
You fall, and you crawl, and you break,
And you take what you get, and turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no...
