the same old story
a girl meets a boy
and they fall in love too fast
oh, but there's nobody
who can reason with you
before that sensation comes to pass

oh, and you say you're in it for the long haul
but your actions comin' otherwise
but you don't have a leg to stand on
it's the same shit every time

-chorus-
we've been havin hard times
living off the old times
make believe that everything is fine
yeah we've been havin hard times
but i think it's 'bout time
that we make a change
and do it right, yeah, yeah

you know i love you
with all of my heart
but it's an ache in my soul
oh, and don't you know
i've been feeling more like your mom than a girl
and it's takin' it's toll

so don't say you don't see it comin'
i've been giving you all the signs
and don't play baby games with my heart
i've been workin for you all the time

-chorus-

baby, i've been tryin to be patient
but it's gettin kinda hard
because you're making me pick up the slack
you've been good at lovin' me
but there is more that goes into it
than just all of that
no, oh

you've been havin hard times
but i think its about time
that we make a change and do it right

chorus (x2)
