[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
It could all be so simple, but you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle and we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
See no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game? Yeah
That forces you to act this way (yeah)
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
[Chorus]
See no one loves you more than me and no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know
It ain't working, it ain't working
And when I try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I keep letting you back in
And how can I explain myself (yeah)
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go and I'll let go too
[Chorus]
Cause no one has hurt me more than you and no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know
It ain't working, it ain't working
And when I try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
[Verse 3]
Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me, there for me there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
Said you would die for me
Give to me, give to me, yeah
Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me, there for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
And you would die for me, give to me (Ooh)
[Chorus]
You know I tried to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
And when I try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
[Outro]
Care, there, cry, me
Care, there, cry, me
Where were you when I needed you?
Oh yeah, said you'd be there (Ooh)
