Lyrics
Damn the way you always bring me down
Can’t you say a single thing that’s true
You could take a perfect day and turn it right around
I’m afraid there ain’t no way to please you
It’s okay, ’cause it don’t matter now
Go your way and I’ll go my way too
Find some new somebodies who you’d rather be around
Maybe they can see their way to please you
Darlin’, good love shouldn’t feel so bad
This fighting might feel righteous, but it’s wrong
We just make each other mad and lonesome
So tell me why the hell we tried so long
One more line and I’ll be down the road
Do me one more dirty, girl I’m gone
Ain’t it you who used to say, life’s too short to live this way
Baby, I believe that life’s too long
Darlin’, good love shouldn’t feel so bad
This fighting might feel righteous, but it’s wrong
We just make each other mad and lonesome
So tell me why the hell we tried so long
