The Little Things You do Together
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Joanne: It's the little things you do together,
Do together,
Do together
That make perfect relationships.
The hobbies you pursue together,
Savings you accrue together,
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy.
Mmhmm...
It's the little things you share together,
Swear together,
Wear together
That make perfect relationships.
The concerts you enjoy together,
Neighbors you annoy together,
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact.
It's not so hard to be married
When two maneuver as one.
It's not so hard to be married,
And Jesus christ, is it fun.
It's sharing little winks together,
Drinks together,
Kinks together
That make marriage a joy.
The bargains that you shop together,
Cigarettes you stop together,
Clothing that you swap together
That make perfect relationships.
Uh huh
Mmhmm...
Friends: It's not talk of god and the decade ahead that
Allows you to get through the worst.
It's, "I do," and, "you don't," and, "nobody said that,"
And, "who brought the subject up first?"
It's the little things...
The little things, the little things, the little things.
The little ways you try together,
Cry together,
Lie together
That make perfect relationships.
Becoming a cliche together,
Growing old and gray together
Joanne: Withering away together
Friends: That make marriage a joy.
Husbands: It's not so hard to be married
Wives: It's much the simplest of crimes
Husbands: It's not so hard to be married
Joanne: I've done it three or four times.
Jenny: It's people that you hate together
Amy & paul: Bait together
Peter & susan: Date together
Friends: That make marriage a joy.
David: It's things like using force together
Larry: Shouting till you're hoarse together
Joanne: Getting a divorce together
Friends: That make perfect relationships.
Uh huh
Kiss kiss
Mmhmm...
