Lyrics
VERSE
I'm better at questions than I am at answers
As I look around, I see lots of romancers
He says: "I love you." She says: "Don't start."
But they're dancin' too close to be that far apart

PRE-CHORUS
(Now) I'm gettin' mixed signals
Between my head and my heart
Heart says I love you; head says miles apart
How do I know if I'm comin' off sincere?
Won't someone do something to make this more clear?

CHORUS
How's love supposed to work, anyway?
Where does it say I should know how love works?
If love was meant to feel good, well, it sure can hurt
How's love supposed to work...?

SOLO/VERSE
Why must the lessons of love
Be relearned by each of us?
Is life not painful enough
Without starting from scratch on the meaning of love?

Repeat PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS/SOLO/TAG
How's love supposed to work, anyway?
