We said a thousand words tonight
Nothing seemed to come out right
Just me and you in the kitchen light
We both put up a real good fight
Going back and forth to no avail
Like a prisoner in a prison cell
We were throwing punches in the air
Well in love and war, not all is fair
Lets not go to bed angry, let’s not turn out the light
We’ve got to talk this thing over, even if it takes all night
We’ve got to work this thing out, make everything right
Before the night is through, ‚cause baby I love you
We used to laugh, we used to cry
We would never hurt and never lie
We used to make fun of your mom and dad
‚Cause they would sometimes fight like we just did
We would never see any other light
Like the one of us that would shine so bright
We were so damn sure that we could win it all
If we don’t turn around now we could loose it all
Lets not go to bed angry, let’s not turn out the light
We’ve got to talk this thing over, even if it takes all night
We’ve got to work this thing out, make everything right
Before the night is through, ‚cause baby I love you
There is something I must tell you
There just one thing I have to say to you
Time is precious don’t just waist it
You’ve got all night to make it right
Do not go to bed angry, do not turn out the light
You have to talk this thing over even if it takes all night
So we can go to bed happy and turn out the light
And do what we ought to and do it all night
Let’s go to bed happy, lets turn out the light
And let’s do what we want to and do what we ought to
and do it all night
