Lyrics

Title: Fight Song

(guy)
I've got one roof upon my house
Two cars in my garage
Three precious kids asleep in little beds
And I've got four or five old goldfish
Who have all outlived a year
I've got six books upon my bookshelf that I've read

And then there's you, in my other ear
Tellin' me 'bout somethin' I've done wrong
Well mercy me, good night
Say, what's a guy to do
I just gave you sixteen things that I've done right

(gal)
Yeah, well in the seven years I've known you
You've made me dinner, what, eight times
In fact, I cook dinner and wash dishes nine times out of ten
And your eleven loads of laundry
They didn't leap up on them shelves
And our three precious kids in little beds, at times they seem like twelve

And then there's you, in my other ear
Talkin' 'bout how hard you work for me
Well, honey I know it's true
But what's a gal to do
I've been known to do a little somethin' 'round here too

(guy)
It don't add up
(gal)
It don't add up
This new math you're bringin' home ain't right
The more we fight keeps addin' up
You'll be windin' up alone tonight

(guy)
Well dear, I know when cooler heads prevail
I'm sure we'll find these ties that bind
Ain't the kind of ties that fail

(gal)
Oh honey, I do appreciate the roof
(guy)
Oh baby, I love the meals you make
(gal)
Well I ain't fightin' anymore
I'm sick and tired of keepin' score

(guy)
Well baby, put those dishes down
(gal)
Oh honey, why don't you sit down
(guy)
I think I might, why don't you join me
I ain't fightin' anymore

(duet)
And then there's you, in my other ear
Whisperin' sweet nothin's like you will
Well, honey I know we fight
But just give me 'til tonight
And I'll show you just how sweet makin' up can feel

Yeah, honey I know we fight
But give me -
I say give me 'til tonight
And I'll show you just how sweet makin' up can feel
