I didn't mean to, Start any scene to Make you sigh Hope to die It's most immoral For us to quarrel Why can't we Both agree Don't you know Ben Franklin wrote about this thing at length? On the proposition that in union there is strength? Why raise a storm up If we'll just warm up The blues will slumber We'll have their number Let's kiss and make up Come on, let's wake up For I need you and you need me Let's kiss and make up No use to break up When we can live in harmony I'll give you your way You give me my way And out the doorway Our cares will fly away If we be happy The way is clear Let's kiss, and make up No use to break up We need each other, dear Let's kiss and make up No cares to rake up For I need you and you need me No reprimanding Full understanding That we can live in harmony The world is prose-y When we are fighting Lets make it rosy By reuniting Two heads are better Than what I hear Let's kiss and make up No use to break up We need each other, dear Why should we shake up A new earthquake-up Take the uptake-up And soon they'll bake-up A wedding cake-up Let's kiss and make up We need each other dear
