You drove 40 miles one way
To spend a sunny summer day
We'd walk to get some lemonade
Then, in each other's arms we'd lay
Upon the grass and watch the sky
Then, on your laugh we would get high
I did the math and I surmised that
We were really worth a try
But that was algebra
And you are Calculus
Calculating, manipulative
Fluctuating, always late and
Orchestrating stories so I'd
Stop debating misbehavior
Caved-in allegories
When the sun burned my eyes, I turned around
Love shouldn't be this hard
Love shouldn't be this hard
You would compliment my toes
Send me lillies, cards and roses
Danced all night until my toes hurt
Tickled me until my toes curled
Last year's birthday took me dining, clubbing
Then we 69'd
This year, you couldn't get off work
You gave me cash and a card you didn't sign
Guess it's obvious
You are tired of us
Lame excuses, clever ruses
Get a grip. Omitting truth is
Same as lying
Yes I'm crying
No, I didn't misconstrue this
I'm too old for Charlotte Russe's
Must've forgot how gapped my tooth is
Love shouldn't be this hard
Love shouldn't be this hard
Can't believe I introduced you to my friends
Smiled in his face and shook my brother's hand
Said you wanna give me babies, making wedding plans
Turning down single suitors who were better men
It was all illusion, all pretend
Tiptoed the trap, now fallen in
Down on my knees, in the Hall again
Keep a straight face, I'm a doll again
Love shouldn't be this hard
Love shouldn't be this hard
