Story Behind The Song

Love is a funny thing. Wondering why couples are together has always seemed like a mystery. Two apparently opposite people can have a successful relationship and usually it is true that "opposites attract." So in this song there is an apparent contradiction - someone is both sweet and aggravating. It's the true test of love - in spite of faults and differences I will "stick with you." I often think this is what my wife thinks of me. Although we have the same basic ways of thinking, we are very different - I am outgoing and love parties, she is content being at home reading books. I love public attention, she is shy. I cam to the marriage with lots of problems, she is a pretty together person. She has stayed with me through years of ups and downs. I think if she could have written this about me, she would have.

Sweet Aggravation

1. After many years together, I know you all too well.
I've seen your faults and weaknesses as far as I can tell.
You speak your mind too freely and you always drive too fast.
Lord knows how this relationship is ever gonna last.
Sometimes I think we should say we're through,
Then I start missing you.
If our love was never meant to be,
Why am I so happy with my

REFRAIN
Sweet aggravation!
I want to hold you night and day
You drive me crazy.
You?re my, sweet aggravation,
Your style is wild our minds don?t meet
You know you knock me off my feet,
Cause you?re my sweet aggravation,
You want to sleep all through the night,
I?d rather make romance.
You?re my sweet aggravation,
But I don?t care; I?ll say a prayer and stick with you!

2. Politically speaking we vote on different sides,
And how about that pile of clothes you always try to hide.
Conservative or liberal, a neatnick or a slob,
Sometimes this relationship is more work than my job.
No two people could ever be,
So contrary.
We don't ever see eye to eye,
So I keep on asking myself, why, why why you're my
REFRAIN:
BRIDGE:
Haven't you heard opposites attract,
Well in this relationship that is without question
Absolutely a fact. You're my
