[Verse 1]
Tell me you want me when you are talking with your eyes closed
Standing in line at the 7-11, buying those
Cigarettes and magazines
Couple 20s from the cash machine

Stumbled back to our apartment just down the street
You say you're sorry
And I wonder what that even means
No matter what you say to me
We know it wouldn't change a thing

[Chorus]
So why, why, why you gotta mess me up?
Well I can't decide, but it hurts so bad
Oh yeah, it must be love
Love, love
It must be love
Love, love

[Verse 2]
When you are standing in the doorway of the bathroom trying not to cry
Three out of five says there's a baby coming up
And I don't even have a job
Oh will make it work with what we've got
I'm we're making promises that we can't keep
When you can't even tell me what it is you really need
I think that you are the only one
Who's ever been afraid of love
[Chorus]
So why, why, why you gotta mess me up?
Well I can't decide, but it hurts so bad
Oh yeah, it must be love
Love, love
It must be love
Love, love

[Chorus 2]
Why, why, why you gotta mess me up?
Well I can't decide, but it hurts so bad
Oh it must be
Why, why, why you gotta mess me up?
Well I can't decide, but it hurts so bad
Oh yeah, it must be love
Love, love
Must be love
Love, love
