You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no

You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no

Why is everything with you so complicated?

Why do you make it hard to love you?

Oh, I hate it

'Cause if you really wanna be alone, I will throw my hands up

'Cause baby, I tried

But everything with you is so complicated

Oh, why?

Sometimes, I get you

Sometimes, I don't understand

Sometimes, I love you

Sometimes, it's you I can't stand

Sometimes, I wanna hug you

Sometimes, I wanna push you away

Most times, I wanna kiss you

Other times, punch you in the face

'Cause every minute you start switching up

And you say things like you don't give a fuck

Then I say I'm through with you

Take my heart from you

And you come running after me, and baby, I'm back with you

You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no

You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no

Why is everything with you so complicated?

Why do you make it hard to love you?

Oh, I hate it

'Cause if you really wanna be alone, I will throw my hands up

'Cause baby, I tried

But everything with you is so complicated

Oh, why?

Sometimes, I catch you

Sometimes, you get away

Sometimes, I read you

Other times, I'm like, "Where are you on the page?"

Sometimes, I feel like we will be together forever

But you're so complicated, my heart knows better

Why is everything with you so complicated?

Why do you make it hard to love you?

Oh, I hate it

'Cause if you really wanna be alone, I will throw my hands up

'Cause baby, I tried

But everything with you is so complicated

Oh, why?

I'ma stick around just a little while longer

Just to make sure that you're really sure you like sleepin' alone

I'ma stick around just a little while longer

Just to make sure that you're really sure you like sleepin' alone

Why is everything with you so complicated?

Why do you make it hard to love you?

Oh, I hate it

'Cause if you really wanna be alone, I will throw my hands up

'Cause baby, I tried

But everything with you is so complicated

Oh, why?

You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no

You're not easy to love

You're not easy to love, no
