[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
Woman don't want to love me
She says it makes her cry
Woman don't want to love me
That's an alibi

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Loving gets complicated
You have to want to try
Won't be simply stated
Ooh, you got to look for some perfection
You're going to lose some affection
Crying bye, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Woman don't want to love me
She says she wants to go
Woman don't want to love me
She's tired of feeling low

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
'Cause loving gets complicated
Just start with what you know
Won't be simply stated
Fill yourself with emotion
To earn yourself some devotion
And you'll go, hey yeah-yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
Woman don't want to love me
She hates to be alone
Woman don't want to love me
She hates the telephone

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Because loving gets complicated
It's a little bit too fast
Won't be simply stated
We got to fix this situation
With the final liberation
Of this man, yeah
