We gon' put some people back together today
Somebody gonna thank me after this song, man
And matter of fact, I'm gonna thank me right now

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 everything here really worth salvaging?
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 that nothing's going to take us under

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
Let's stay together
Let's stay together, yeah

Girl, I can't justify what I've done
Ain't got no reason 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 just cry

Is it over and how do we go about deciding
Do we add up all the good times and divide them
By how many times we hurt each other?

Or do we just ignore the numbers
And vow right now that nothing's going to take us under

Let's stay together
Can't 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
Let's stay together
Let's stay together, yeah

See if you leave I will not die physically
But emotionally you might as well bury me
If I can't be the man I should have been
Before all of this happened, oh no

But if we hold on and ask God for direction
Where we went wrong? We can make the correction
If we just stand strong all our ups and downs finally come around
And there will be nothing that can shake us
Nothing that can shake it, nothing can break us

Let's stay together
Can't 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
Let's stay together
Let's stay, yeah

Put your hands together man, let's go
This is where it comes to a head at
Are all of these years worth nothing, is it over?
You don't want to be with him, he don't want to be with you?

Hell, you done made mistakes too
He done made 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 being slick at listening, man

Your work is at home, it ain't in them streets
It's at home, so get there, get there and stay there
