Lyrics

“Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)”

 

Cool
Yeah
Uh-uh, yeah

You’re so complicated
You hang over my shoulder when I read my mail
I don’t appreciate it
When I talk to other guys you think they’re on my tail

I get so aggravated
When I get off the phone and I get the third degree
I’m really feelin’ frustrated
Why don’t you take a pill and put a little trust in me
And you’ll see

Don’t freak out until you know the facts
Relax

Don’t be stupid, you know I love you
Don’t be ridiculous, you know I need you
Don’t be absurd, you know I want you
Don’t be impossible

Oh, oh yeah

I’m mad about you (I’m mad about you)
I can’t live without you (I can’t live without you)
I’m crazy ’bout you (I’m crazy ’bout you)
So don’t be stupid, you know I love you

Stop overreacting
You even get suspicious when I paint my nails
It’s definitely distracting
The way you dramatize every little small detail

Don’t freak out until you know the facts
Relax, Max

Don’t be stupid, you know I love you
Don’t be ridiculous, you know I need you
Don’t be absurd, you know I want you
Don’t be impossible

Oh, no, no

I’m mad about you (I’m mad about you)
I can’t live without you (I can’t live without you)
I’m crazy ’bout you (I’m crazy ’bout you)
Don’t be stupid, you know I love you

Don’t be stupid
You’re my baby

I’m mad about you (I’m mad about you)
I can’t live without you (I can’t live without you)
I’m crazy ’bout you (I’m crazy ’bout you)

Don’t be stupid, you know I love you
Don’t be ridiculous, you know I need you
Don’t be absurd, you know I want you
Don’t be impossible
Impossible

Oh, no, no, no
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be, baby
Don’t be ridiculous
No, no
Oh, don’t be stupid
