Cover art for Ex-Factor lyrics by Lauryn Hill

It could all be so simple but you'd rather make it hard

Isn't that just life?! I swear, at least in my experience, guys always have to make it so difficult when it really doesnt need to be.

tell me, who i have to be to get some reciprocity

I find i can really relate to this too. Its about when you start wondering what you have to do, what you have to change and who you have to be for him to feel the same way and reciprocate your feelings.

And when Lauryn sings

No matter how I think we grow you always seem to let me know it ain't workin' it ain't workin'

it makes me remember times when I've thought that we were getting better, that we were working, but its not good enough for some reason, and something isnt right for you.

Lauryn = Genius.
