You know I love you, baby.
You know you mean the world to me.
But we gotta learn respect for one another
even though at times we disagree.
Some hurtful words were spoken here,
and now they’re hanging over us like the branches of some evil tree.
‘Fore you walk out that door,
let’s talk it over.

It’s not an easy thing to live a life together.
We’re just trying hard to find our way.
Sometimes we stumble, we make mistakes,
we say things we didn’t mean to say.
Now maybe both of us were wrong,
or maybe both of us were right, but either way,
‘fore you walk out that door,
let’s talk it over.

Our love is like a fragile flower
with tender care it grows and opens to the sky.
Now, we can work together to make it strong,
or we can both just walk away and let it die.

You know I love you, baby.
You know I do, without a doubt.
A little patience, a little understanding—
after all, isn’t that what love is all about?
If we could both just give a little, and meet somewhere in the middle,
I know that we could work it out.
‘Fore you walk out that door,
let’s talk it over.
