I don't know what games you're tryin' to play
(Games you're tryin' to play)
You wanna look the other way
(Look the other way)

I'm talkin' 'bout the here and now
(The here, the now)
Keep my feet on solid ground

Well, I hate to break it to you
But you just don't realize
With your conversation topics
And you never compromise

I wanna express something to you
Something you ought to know
But you got the total logic
And refuse to let it go

You make it rough
(So rough)
For me to get through to you
(So rough)
To get my point across

I had enough
(Enough)
Of tryin' to get through to you
(So rough)
And gettin' no response

You make it rough

I'm feelin' slightly ill at ease
About your sensibilities
(Sensibilities)
And I've been getting nervous tics
Wondering if one word'll stick

You don't respond well to the pressure
That's something I've been warned about
(Something I've been warned about)
And I think of you as something lesser
When we can't sit and talk it out

Well, I hate to break it to you
But you just don't realize
With your conversation topics
And you never compromise

I wanna express something to you
Something you ought to know
But you got the total logic
And refuse to let it go

You make it rough
(So rough)
For me to get through to you
(So rough)
To get my point across

I had enough
(Enough)
Of tryin' to get through to you
(So rough)
And gettin' no response

The situation worsens
The words turned into curses
For certain, you got me
All tied up just like a circus

I can't make an assertion
Without you thinkin' it's hurtin'
I guess it's really time
To pull the curtains

You make it rough
You make it rough

(So rough)
For me to get through to you
(So rough)
To get my point across

(Enough)
Of tryin' to get through to you
(So rough)
And gettin' no response

You make it rough
(So rough)
For me to get through to you
(So rough)
To get my point across

I had enough
(Enough)
Of tryin' to get through to you
(So rough)
And gettin' no response
