The Downside To An Up-Hill Battle
Why don’t you go along with me when it’s so obvious that I am right?
I think that your contrariness is more than I can deal with for tonight.
It’s really very childish that you won't to concede to me this point,
I know that you are only refuting it because your nose is out of joint.
Perhaps my logic is lost on you because you are acting like a mule,
Or perhaps the soundness of my argument makes you feel like you’re a fool.
Believe me when I say I have no need to hold this over your head,
Once you’ve admitted that you’re wrong it’s kisses and we’re off to bed.
But if you’re going to hold on to irrefutable facts and only deal in reality,
I’m afraid that we’ll never work this out until you can accept my duality.
