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
