Story Behind The Song

A couple who fusses and fight's but love's with all their might.

Lyrics

You don't like it when I steal the covers.
I don't dig it when you look at others.
We both spend too much time on the phone with our mothers but we try, oh we try.

I spend hours starin' at the television.
You complain bout all the love you think you';re missin'
We make it up with a whole lot a kissin' and we try oh we try.

How could anybody think that we're not in love.
Just cuz we're always on the verge or push and shove.
Everything we do is for each other.
Still sometimes you say I treat you like a brother.
We've both learned how to beg borrow and barter.
In other words, we try harder.

I can't stand it when you leave the car on empty.
You think my cookin' is the crime of the century.
Sometimes I wanna leave you but I just don't have it in me so I cry, yeah I cry.

How could anybody think that we're not in love.
Just cuz we're always on the verge or push and shove.
Everything we do is for each other.
Still sometimes I love to play the martyr.
We've both learned how to beg borrow and barter.
In other words, we try harder.

Nothin' can pull us apart cuz what we got is a work of art.
Fussin' and fightin' is just how we do it.
If it ain't broke, why you wanna glue it?

I just love it when we're on the road together.
Cuz we can make it through any kind of weather.
We gave up fightin cuz lovin's so much better.
We don't try, no we don't have to try.

How could anybody think that we're not in love.
Just cuz we're always on the verge or push and shove.
Everything we do is for each other.
Still sometimes I wonder why I bother,
We've both learned how to beg borrow and barter.
In other words, we try harder
