La la la la la la la la la
We gon' put some people back together today, ha
La la la la la la la la la
Somebody gon' thank me after this song, man
La la la la la la la
Matter of fact, I'm a thank me right now
La la la la la la la, oh

Girl, I apologize 
I'm to blame
And I can't sympathize with your pain
If I could I'd make it go away
But I can't
So I concentrate on more realistic things
Like questioning
Is there anything here worth salvaging?

[Bridge]
Is it over?
How do we go about deciding?
Do we add up all the good times then divide them
By how many times we hurt each other
Or do we just ignore the numbers and vow right now to never ever take asunder?

[Chorus]
Let's stay together
Can we agree to just disagree?
Let's stay together
Don't do it for the kids, do it for me
Let's stay together
I'm tired of all this making up and breaking up
Let's stay together (together)
Let's stay together, yeah

Girl, I can't justify what I've done
Ain't got no reasons why, not even one
I pray to God what seems like every morning for the sun
To shine on us just one more time
And let me hold you in my arms, and we'd just cry

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

(Aight' you wanna make me say it, you wanna make me say it)
See, if you leave
(I would not die physically)
But emotionally
(Might as well bury me)
For I can't be the man I should have been
Before all of this happened
But if we hold on
(And ask God for direction)
Where we went wrong
(We can make the correction if we)
Just stay strong
All of our up and downs
Fully come around
And there will be nothing that can shake us
Nothing that can break us
We will stay together

[Chorus]

(Put your hands together, man)

This is where it all comes to a head at
Are all these years worth nothing?
Is it over?
You don't wanna be with him
He don't wanna be with you
Hell, you done made some mistakes too
He done made some mistakes 
You done made some mistakes before, man
Work it out, man
And you dudes out there
Anybody can be slick at talking
Anybody can be slick at talking, man
Try to be slick at listening, man
Your work is at home
It ain't in the streets, it's at home
So get there, get there
And stay there
