Lyrics

Yo, y-yo, yo, y-yo
 Yo, uh, yo, y-yo, yo, y-yo
 It could all be so simple (Ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby)
 But you'd rather make it hard (Huh, uh)
 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 (No one ever will, yeah)
 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 (Yeah)
 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, 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 (Yeah)
 You let go (You let go)
 And I'll let go too (And I'll let go)
