in so many ways I just can’t understand
how are we in touch again
at first it feels like way back when
they we self-destruct and end
we’re enemies who once were friends
there shouldn’t be an 'us'
oh no there shouldn’t be an us no more
so show me the way so I can understand
how what I’m like and all you’ve planned
can satisfy both our demands
why would we start this up again
your confidence is contraband
there shouldn’t be an us
no no no shouldn’t be an us
there shouldn’t be an us
oh no shouldn’t be an us no more
but if heaven’s a place then I’m your promised man
affiliation notwithstanding
reconciled as one again
runnin’ free and holding hands
eternally in love
but ’til we are above
shouldn’t be in love
there shouldn’t be an us
oh no shouldn’t be an us no more
so get your stuff out
get your stuff out of my house baby
so get your stuff out please
get your stuff out take it straight to the curb
get your stuff out please don’t say a word
just leave
imma’ call two moving trucks for him and for her
imma’ go soon but you can go first
please
