We went to bed, last night again, angry;
It seems like lately, we been doin' that more an' more.
I woke up still mad an' it scared me,
When I couldn't remember what we were fightin' for.
So here's some coffee with the cream an' sugar like you like it, baby.
From a man with his heart in his hand an' just one wish:
I know life ain't s'posed to be easy, baby, but maybe,
We can make it easier than this.
If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin',
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'.
If we quit sayin' things that always leave a mark,
Baby, love don't have to be so hard.
Now I know sometimes, my eyes'll look right through you,
An' they make you feel like you ain't even there.
When you're mad, there ain't nobody better,
At makin' me feel like you just don't care.
So here's some coffee with the cream an' sugar like you like it, baby.
From a man who wants the way it was to be the way it is.
An' I know it ain't gonna be easy, baby, but maybe,
We can make it easier than this.
If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin',
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'.
If we quit sayin' things that always leave a mark,
Baby, love don't have to be so hard, no.
If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin',
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'.
If we quit sayin' things that always leave us scarred,
Baby, love don't have to be;
Love don't have to be;
Love don't have to be so hard.
It don't have to be so hard.
