You had your faults, I had mine
Nothing's perfect, is it, baby?
If we'd given it the time
Could have worked things out, well, maybe
Came to thinkin' what the hell
Not to dwell up on the problems
Our bodies came together well
And that was all we cared
More and more and more and more
More of the people gave up looking for
Avenues to happiness, you hear them say
The road to understanding was just too far away
While we watched the little things getting out of all proportion
There was so much more at stake, but we paid it no attention
I suppose if we had tried
We'd have saved the pot from boiling
But we went and let it slide
Until we lost control
And more and more and more and more
More of the people gave up looking for
Avenues to happiness, you hear them say
The road to understanding was just too far away
What was bad got worse, what was good just got forgotten
Could have stopped it there and then, but, girl, we didn't cotton
In the end we didn't care
All the love flew out the window
And I guess, just like you said
It all got outta hand
And more and more and more and more
More of the people gave up looking for
Avenues to happiness, you hear them say
The road to understanding was just too far away
More and more and more and more
More of the people gave up looking for
Avenues to happiness, you hear them say
The road to understanding was just too far away
More and more and more and more
More of the people gave up looking for
Avenues to happiness, you hear them say
