[Intro]
Act like that, act like that
Once I snapped and you snapped right back
When you act like that
Yeah we act like that
Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs
[Hook]
Why we gotta act like we don't know nothin' about each other?
Like all we had was hatred for one another
Like we knew that it was gonna fall apart
But if it does, you'll take a piece of my heart (with ya)
Why we gotta act like that? Act like that
Once I snapped and you snapped right back
And we act like that, yeah we act like that
Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs
[Verse 1]
I'm tryna make a livin' here, and I'm ridin'
Startin' to feel like what we have is bad timin'
But you ain't gotta worry, cause I ain't in a hurry
And my life before I met you was seemin' a little blurry
Now, I don't have much and sorry if you're mad
But the best that I can do is give you everything I have
And it's sad... I think this is what it is
We gotta learn to survive before trying to live
Cause otherwise... I'd just be like the other guys
Then you'd feel neglected, and not at all respected
But if you put it all into perspective, I'll confess it
Cause the last thing that you want is to be guessin', right?
Baby, come closer, I don't bite
We gotta believe that everything will be alright
Cause right now, it might seem like we're stranded in a cave
When you're in the darkness, you forget what you repaid(?)
What you built over a long time in a relationship
The memories, if they were paper, I couldn't staple it
Need a file cabinet for storage
My microwave is broken and our love is cold porage
And I can't fix it, can't afford it, so I throw it in the oven
It might take a little longer, but it won't amount to nothin'
And once we come out fresh baked, you can't ignore it
Cause the smell is emanating from your mating's little warm(?), and we gotta
[Hook]
Act like we don't know nothin' about each other?
Like all we had was hatred for one another
Like we knew that it was gonna fall apart
But if it does, you'll take a piece of my heart (with ya)
Why we gotta act like that? Act like that
Once I snapped and you snapped right back
And we act like that, yeah we act like that
Like we're both maniacs, both maniacs
[Verse 2]
Uh, yo, I'm hoping that you're listenin'
The darkness of the shadows ain't preventin' us from glistenin'
And shinin', gleamin', and girl I know you care for me
And this isn't a song, maybe, baby, this is therapy
Yeah. Have you forgotten? Got amnesia?
Baby, you're the cheese on my pepperoni pizza
That was kinda cheesy, perhaps a little childish
But you're all that I see when I close my eyelids (hah)
And life is short, but love is timeless
And damnit is your smile is(?) reddin' like a virus(?)
But I like this illness, so send me to the E.R
Cause baby got me breathless, give me CPR
Cause I just need some air in my lungs
For this song to be sung
For death I am far too young
You're the only one, no one else on my list
So we're living like tomorrow doesn't exist
No, please, I insist, take a piece of my heart, it's
Yours to keep, just don't spill it on the carpet
Sorry, can't give you all of it, gotta use it
Cause every word I speak is from my heart and to the music
Now, let's live it out, no guaranteed tomorrow
But don't lead me on, cause you're a hard act to follow
Let's live it out, no guaranteed tomorrow
But don't lead me on, cause you're a hard act to follow
[Hook]
Why we gotta act like we don't know nothin' about each other?

And we act like that, yeah we act like that
