Disagreements...

Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)



Sometimes when you're in love - things just don't go right,
You've done nothing wrong yet you end up in a fight.
You try to make them happy but at times you fall short,
You won't give up and you don't want to be on Divorce Court.
You love them so much - you don't want not to try,
But when they are angry - what they say makes you want to die.
To take the pain away - it's what you want - but it's hard,
You tell them you love them - and buy them a card.
Just give them time to cool off - it's the right thing to do,
For if you crowd them - they'll say we're thru.
Is that really what you want them to do,
Then your relationship would be thru.
