[Intro: Coco Jones]
Mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm

[Verse 1: Coco Jones]
I wanna believe in us
I wanna be cool, I wanna be chill
But baby, I've seen too much
Just bein' real, can I be honest?
I don't believe in love
The more that you give, the more that you get
Don't wanna feel unsure
I ain't doin' that no more
Yes, I've been jaded
So go 'head and say it
Got my guard to high (Mm)
And you know, and you know why
So complicated
But that's how we made it
I got my ways and you got your ways too, ooh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus: Coco Jones]
Remember back when we had nothin' in between
Before we had these issues, it's nothin' like it used to (Nothin' like it used to)
They way it used to be when love was so easy
I know it's sentimental (Yeah)
I wish it was that simple (Yeah), simple
[Verse 2: Babyface, Coco Jones, & Both]
The thing about love (Mm)
It ain't always simple (Mm-hmm, mm)
Don't try to be smart, playin' your cards
Put 'em all on the table (Woo)
Oh, why is it so complicated?
Maybe 'cause that's how God made it
He's got his ways, but you got your ways too, oh, oh

[Chorus: Coco Jones]
Remember back when we had nothin' in between
Before we had these issues (Yeah, yeah), it's nothin' like it used to (Nothin' like it used to)
They way it used to be when love was so easy
I know it's sentimental ('Mental)
I wish it was that simple (Yeah), simple

[Bridge: Coco Jones]
On some puppy love (Puppy love)
Like who gon' hang up first (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
And now I'm so caught up on how it was
They way it used to be when love was so easy
I wish it was that simple (I wish it was that simple)
I wish it was that simple (I wish it was that simple), simple

[Outro: Coco Jones]
Mm-hmm
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
Simple, simple
