Must have been some bad directions

Brought us around this way

Some kinda misconception

about what love oughta be

We’ve been hangin on the phone

I’ve been tryin’ to explain

Cause if we don’t try

How the hell can we complain

Lord we’re not communicatin’

Honey can you hear me

What’s all this co-miseratin’

about what love oughta be

The back bitin’ comes so easy

Seems unnatural to change

But if we don’t try

How the hell can we complain

(Bridge)

Time changes everything we love

And all we hope to be

Now I’m still the man I always was

Am I still the man you need

Yeah you got a real affection

For giv’n me the third degree

What’s all this deep reflection

about what love oughta be

We could never live alone

I know we’d go insane

So if we don’t try

How the hell can we complain

How the hell can we complain

(Instrumental Bridge)

(Repeat) Am I still the man you need

If we don’t try
