You Say I Say

YOU SAY IT'S BLUE,

I THINK YOU HAVE NO CLUE.

YOU SAY IT'S NICE,

I THINK YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR EYES.

YOU SAY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE,

I THINK IT'S PLAUSIBLE.

YOU SAY IT'S BORING AND STUPID,

I THINK IT'S FUN AND SPLENDID.

YOU SAY THE ROAD IS TOO LONG,

I BELIEVE YOU ARE LAZY AND WRONG.

YOU SAY THAT THE NIGHT IS COLD,

I'M THINKING YOUR COMPLAINING IT GETTING OLD.

YOU SAY MY CAR IS UGGLY,

I THINK IT'S BETTER THAN A BUGGY.

YOU SAY MY HOUSE IS TOO SMALL.

BUT I DON'T NEED A MALL.

YOU SAY THIS AND THAT,

I THINK YOU'RE JUST A SPOILED BRAT.

WE DISAGREE ON EVERYTHING,

BUT THAT'S THE PRICE WE PAY FOR LOVING.
