Song Description

In a relationship, pick your battles - put love and peace above all.

Lyrics

Don?t Lecture Me (Greg Hammen, Ward Ralston)

Verse 1
One good long-winded speech
Bends your lady?s ear beyond the reach
Of civil compromise.
Leave room for a quick retreat,
The daggers shooting from her eyes precede
A dreaded battle cry.

Chorus
Don?t you lecture me
Don?t you lecture me
Don?t you lecture me
You?ve got no authority!
Don?t you lecture me
Don?t you lecture me
Don?t you lecture me
This ain?t no university!

Verse 2
No more ground left to gain,
Time to minimize the pain;
Discretion is divine
The sooner that you give it up,
The sooner that the stars of love
Realign?and life is fine.

Bridge
Peace comes floating down.
She?ll come slowly ?round.

Verse 3 (Spoken over sung ?Don?t Lecture Me?)
Perhaps I got a bit verbose
Tripping on a pile of clothes
Climbing halfway up my closet door.
I threw discretion to the wind
And simply chose recommend,
?The hamper might be better than the floor!?

Chorus

Outro
One good long-winded speech
Bends your lady?s ear beyond the reach
Of civil compromise.
