A Little Trouble

Well, they’re still together

Because they drive each other crazy

That’s why

That’s the real answer

You look at Carl and Vicky

They were so happy

They were so happy

When they got together

And three years later

Boom

Split up

Can’t stand each other

But Will and Brianne?

Still going

And you look at Will and Brianne

All they do is fight

They fight, fight, fight

It’s like they can’t help themselves

Carl and Vicky

Never fought like that

Then one day

They’re just done

Everybody thinks that’s strange

But I know what’s what

If all you got going for each other

Is that you get along

You’re not going to last

You’re just not

You think your Dad and I

Stay together

Because we like each other?

Get out of here

We stay together

Because at least twice a day

We want to kill each other

And I’m not saying it’s love

I know it’s not love

But it’s pretty damn interesting

You gotta admit

Life is all about drama

All about attention

Some people don’t like attention

But I don’t have a clue

Who those people are

If you’re going through life

Just waking up

Making breakfast

Working, coming home

Kissing who you’re married to

And sitting around for a few hours

Waiting for bed

Pretty soon

You’re going to want a little hullabaloo

Now sometimes you get lucky

Or unlucky

And life throws a little hullabaloo at you

Free of charge

And when that happens

Maybe you stick together

Because you need

Somebody to lean on

And maybe you break apart

Because you find out

The person you’re with

Isn’t all that sturdy

But at least you get some excitement

And that’s what you gotta have

If you’re going to make it

Marriages are just one big movie

And if the movie’s boring

One or both of you

Is going to want to watch

Another movie

That’s just how it is

So fine, be with who you want to be with

But be with somebody

Who’s going to get your blood pumping

Be with somebody

Who’s going to make you

Want to pull your hair out

Every now and again

Be with someone

Who drives you a little nuts

And, you know, even if you aren’t always happy

You’ll always be married

Life just flies by

When you’re in the middle

Of a tornado

You might not think

That’s any way to live

But I’ll tell you something--

Most people die

Not liking the way they lived

At least if you do it my way

You die with somebody

Next to you

And that’s nothing to sneeze at, kid

In my opinion

That’s worth

A little trouble
