[Verse 1]
In distant lands
There's no such luxury
You'd give your hand
In pre-arranged matrimony
You'd wear the veil
I'd sit in some café somewhere
Instead of this running around
And this right to be free
So pleased with ourselves but there's one thing I've found
About you and me

[Chorus]
Is we can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)
We can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)

[Verse 2]
In all my dreams
I've wanted someone like you
With no extremes
We'd both do what we have to do
But it's too easy, and then it's too hard
And passion gives us away
We know when to play the right cards
But we never know what to say
[Chorus]
And we can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)
We can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)

[Bridge]
Why can't you be just more like me
Or me like you?
And why can't one and one
Just add up to two?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
We can't, we can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)
We can't live together (Can't live together)
But we can't stay apart (Can't stay apart)
