Ex-Factor
Lyrics
It could all be so simple (ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby)
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle (it's like a battle)
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be (who I have to be)
To get some reciprocity
See, no one loves you more than me (more than me)
And no one ever will (and no one ever will)
Is this just a silly game (silly game)
That forces you to act this way? (To act this way)
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be (I know what we gotta do)
To get some reciprocity
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 workin', it ain't workin' (no, it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy
Oh, this is crazy (this is crazy, uh-huh)
I keep letting you back in (you back in)
How can I explain myself? (I don't understand why)
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 (you let go), and I'll let go too (and I let go)
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
(No one has hurt me more)
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow (no matter how)
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy)
Oh, this is crazy (this is crazy)
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
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me
You said you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Give to me, give to me (cry)
Why won't you live for me?
Cry for me, cry for me (give)
You said you'd die for me
(Care) where?
(There) where?
(Cry) where were you
(Give) when I needed you?
Care
There
Cry
Give
Yeah, where, here were you
When I needed you?
Where were you?
You, you, you, you, you, you
