Time and time again,
Back and forth and then
Hating and loving
Breaking and making up

Should we start again
Should we let it end
Staying and leaving, baby

Baby I can't take it,
We're in and we're out of love
But I can't shake it

Our souls are so twisted up
I'm so frustrated,
The truth has become a lie
Why can't we make it, baby why

Why do we act this way,
Why do we play these games,
Why do we fuss and fight
Why can't we get it right (oh)
Why does it have to hurt
Why can't we make this work
Why do we still hold on,
Maybe we just gone wrong

Broken hears and then
Time apart to mend
Worst or for better
Lovers and even friends

Down through thick and thin
Down until the end
Brave under pressure, baby

Baby I can't take it,
We're in and we're out of love
But I can't shake it

Our souls are so twisted up
I'm so frustrated,
The truth has become a lie
Why can't we make it, baby why

Why do we act this way, (why do we)
Why do we play these games, (why, why, why)
Why do we fuss and fight (why do we, oh)
Why can't we get it right (oh)
Why does it have to hurt (i need to know)
Why can't we make this work (please baby)
Why do we still hold on,
Maybe we just gone wrong

Tired of all the pain
Of all the fussing and placing the blame
Cause love shouldn't be this way
Oh no, no

I thought we'd be better now
Forever is never now
Why do we try
Tell me why, why, why

Why do we act this way, (why do we act this way)
Why do we play these games, (don't wanna play no more games no, no)
Why do we fuss and fight (i'm tired of the fighting)
Why can't we get it right (yeah, yeah ,yeah, yeah)
Why does it have to hurt (oh why do I hurt so bad)
Why can't we make this work (why can't we make it work)
Why do we still hold on (hey, hey, yeah)
Maybe we just gone wrong

Why Why Why
Hey...yeah yeah

Why do we act this way, (i need to know)
Why do we play these games, (i gotta know why can't we, why can't we)
Why do we fuss and fight (why do we oh, oh)
Why can't we get it right (you loved me, as if I loved you)
Why does it have to hurt (why)
Why can't we make this work (oh, oh, oh)
Why do we still hold on (i need to know)
Maybe we just gone wrong

Tell me baby,
Why do we act this way
Why do we play these games
Why do we fuss and fight
Why can't we get it right oh, oh
Why do I have to hurt
Why can't we make it work
Why do we still hold on
Maybe we just gone wrong
