[Verse] There you were freak-ing out. Tryin' to get your head a-round the fact that me and you and love is dead. See how I'm trip-ping out 'cause you can't de-cide what you real-ly want from me. [Chorus] Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. 'Cause you make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. [Verse] There you were shout-ing out. Crank-ing up your al-ter-ca-tions, get-ting up-set in your des-par-a-tion. Scream-ing and hol-ler-ing. How could this love be-come so pa-per thin? You're play-ing so hard to get. You're mak-ing me sweet just to hold your at-ten-tion. I can't give you no-thing more if you ain't giv-ing no-thing to me. Don't you know that. [Chorus] You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. Seems like you're step-ping on the pie- ces of my bro-ken shell. 'Cause you make me love you, love you with a lit-tle L you know, that's the way you make me love you yeah. [Chorus] Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L. Why does it have to be like this? I can ne- ver tell. You make me love you, love you ba-by with a lit- tle L.
