Hut one, hut two
I'm on the way to you
Baby
Baby
Three, four, five, six
I never knew it felt like this
Baby
Baby

But we fight
When we should just try and to be better
I think everybody's just trying
We're together right now
Oh, no, no, no, no
And this thing what I signed up for
Tired of the back and forth
Why does it feel like I'm the only one trying right now
Oh no, no, no
Now I see
I guess this is love
I'm not perfect
I guess this is love
Oh, yeah, yeah, woah
I guess this is love
I'm not perfect
You're not perfect
But you can be
For me

Step left, step right
You better make it up tonight
Baby
Baby
Cause I'm tired of the nights we spend alone
You know that they drive me crazy
Crazy

But we fight
When we should try and to be better
I think everybody's just trying
We're together right now
Oh, no, no, no, no
And this thing what I signed up for
Tired of the back and forth
Why does it feel like I'm the only one trying right now
Oh, no, no, no
Now I see
I guess this is love
I'm not perfect
I guess this is love
Oh, yeah, yeah, woah
I guess this love
I'm not perfect
You're not perfect
But you can be
For me

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhhh
No matter what it is

I guess this is love
Oh, yeah, yeah, woah
I guess this is love
I'm not perfect
You're not perfect




But you can be
For me
