Because the words "I love you" were such a cliché
You never sat down, what a mistake, baby, baby!
One foot on the gas, one foot on the brakes
We're getting nowhere at a furious pace, baby, baby

Don't say it's too real, don't say it's too real to be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel what it's like to be loved?
Everyone feels unprepared, everyone's just a little bit scared of love

I'm always so sorry, you're always so hurt
You're always so faithful, I'm a flake and a flirt, baby, baby
And the worst thing about you is you're so great
I'm the fool that loves you, you're the fool that hesitates, baby, baby

So don't say it's too real, don't say it's too real to be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel what it's like to be loved?
Everyone feels unprepared, everyone's just a little bit scared of love

Oh! The window's open but the curtain is closed
And I'm here naked, and you're fully clothed

Don't say it's too real, don't say it's too real to be loved
Why don't you let yourself feel?
Why don't you let yourself feel what it's like to be loved?
Everyone feels unprepared, everyone's just a little bit scared of love
Everyone feels unprepared, everyone's just a little bit scared of love
Everyone feels unprepared, everyone's just a little bit scared of love
