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...?
How's love supposed to work, anyway?
How's love supposed to work, anyway?

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
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 anyway?
How's love supposed to work, anyway?

SOLO/TAG
How's love supposed to work, anyway?
