Hard To Explain Lyrics - Is This It - Strokes

Was an honest man 

Asked me for the phone 

Tried to take control 

Oh, I don't see it that way 

I don't see it that way 

We shared some ideas 

All obsessed with fame 

Says, we're all the same 

Oh, I don't see it that way 

I don't see it that way 

Raised in Carolina 

I'm not like that 

Tryin' to remind her 

When we go back 

I missed the last bus 

I'll take the next train 

I'll try, but you see 

It's hard to explain 

I say the right thing 

But act the wrong way 

I like it right here 

But I cannot stay 

I'm watching TV 

Forget what I'm told 

Well, I am too young 

And they are too old 

The joke is on you 

This place is a zoo 

You're right, it's true 

He said, he can't decide 

I shake my head to say 

Every thing's just great 

Oh, I just can't remember 

I just can't remember 

Raised in Carolina 

I'm not like that 

Trying to remind her 

When we go back 

I say the right thing 

But act the wrong way 

I like it right here 

But I cannot stay 

I'm watching TV 

Forget what I'm told 

Well, I am too young 

And they are too old 

Oh, man cant you see 

I'm ever so pleased 

Pretend to be nice 

So I can be mean 

I missed the last bus 

We'll take the next train 

I'll try, but you see 

It's hard to explain
