Arguing

Who would have known who would have guessed
That you'd say no and I'd say yes
When all we do is argue all the time

I bring with me my best of game
Which is kind of feeble and kind of lame
But it's the only game that I can find

If either shows that they are weak
The other jumps in with both feet
With claws extended looking for the kill

Would I do that...yes I would
Would you do that...if you could
Enjoying all along the cheap thrill

We come to this party all prepared
Hoping that the other is unaware
Of the dangers that lurk around the bend

You smile at me with the greatest ease
I smile back with sharpened teeth
Knowing where we're going and where we've been

Have you ever stopped to wonder why
We always fuss we always fight
Isn't it time we put this to an end 

And since I know the way you are
You should be the one to start
Cause your the one that started it in the beginning

Personally I think if married couples didn't argue once in a while they're marriages would be pretty dull, but thats just my opinion!:)

Very wise choice, Mike. Really never was one much to argue. I'd just as soon get on with the action:)
