The Road To Understanding

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 lookin' 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 lookin' 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
