Why you got to be like that?
(Kirk)

Verse:
I come home from a hard day’s work and grab myself a beer
No sooner are you in my face talking in my ear
I’m not in the mood to listen to you now
Need a little time to clear my head and settle down

Chorus 1:
Why you got to be like that?
When you don’t like what I say
You stomp your feet and pout your lips as you walk away
Why you got to be like that?
Go and act so damn cute
Makes me want to spend the rest of my day making up to you
Why - you got to be like that?

Verse:
I catch a corner of your grin and the Devil in your eye
I smell the sweet scent of warm vanilla whenever you walk by
I know you’re up to no good, you’re going to make me pay
For treating you so cold and pushing you away

Chorus 2:
Why you got to be like that?
When you whisper in my ear
You tell me things you’re going to do, things I want to hear
Why you got to be like that?
When you strut across the floor
You pretend to play hard to get, makes me want you more
Why - you got to be like that?

Bridge:
I know you’re just trying to turn me on
You’ve been teasing me all night long
You know how to cure my blues
And I’m a lucky man to find a girl like you

Chorus 3:
Why you got to be like that?
When you keep me up all night
Then the way you knock me down, wearing just a smile
Why you got to be like that?
When you go and make me see
When I look in your eyes, you’re where I want to be
Why - you got to be like that?
