Why can't you love me like I need you to?

It's such a simple task at hand

But you can't cure a broken man or mend his gun-hot hands

And I am still the same kid you fell for when we were young

How come every song I sing you say has already been sung?

And I feel like a nuisance in my own damn mind

When I speak, you say it's too much

When I scream, you say I've lost my mind.

So, don't call in the morning, 'cause I'll already be gone

Oklahoma in the summertime's where my country ass belongs

Love is patient, love is kind

Should not make you lose your mind

There's got to be more to this than bein' pissed off

All the time

All the time.

Why can't I love you like you need me to?

It seems we juxtapose

I'll just head out on the town

For déjà vu until they close.

So, don't call in the morning, 'cause I'll already be gone

Oklahoma in the summertime's where my country ass belongs

Love is patient, love is kind

Should not make you lose your mind

There's got to be more to this than bein' pissed off

All the time

All the time.

So, don't call in the morning, 'cause I'll already be gone

Oklahoma in the summertime's where my country ass belongs

Love is patient, love is kind

Should not make you lose your mind

There's got to be more to this than bein' pissed off

All the time.
