[Verse 1]
How come sometimes we go so well together
And then other times we go apart?
How come you find a way to make it better
When there's this pain so deep in my heart? I don't know

[Chorus]
Loving you only brings me pain
Whenever I'm with you
Through it all another still remains
And I oh I don't know what I should do

[Verse 2]
Our love has never been a bed of roses
Our personalities always clash
Through all the tears and such, and temperamental poses
Your kisses say "Our love will last"
Why? I don't know

[Chorus]

[Break]
I know sometimes the sea may be stormy
But by now you must know that I am strong
And even though sometimes you might less than adore me
Somehow I know we must go on
[Verse 3]
I liken our love to a gentle fire
If I get too close then I'll get burned
But just close enough and I'll be warm as a little baby
How come you just can't give me what I earn?
I don't know

[Chorus x2 (Ad-Libs)]
(Loving you only brings me pain whenever I'm with you
Through it all
And I oh I oh I don't know what I should do
Loving you
Our love our love is like a gentle fire
Through it all
Too close and I just might get burned by my desire)

[Outro]
All the smoke is gone and clear
You and me will still be here
