I Can't Stay Mad

(الألبوم: Womagic - 1986)

Talk to me
What's the matter, baby?

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Thinking 'bout our silly fight
Hanging on to foolish pride
Though it's killing, killing me inside

After all that we've been through
How could something like this
Come between me and you?
Here we are with our backs to each other
Acting more like strangers than lovers

You stay on your side
And oh, I'll stay on mine
Someone's got to give in
And I guess, I guess it's me this time, oh

'Cause I can't stay mad too long, no, I can't
Not when this feeling I have for you
Is much too strong

Why do we have to play this game
When there is nothing to be gained?
Let's fight and get it over with
Instead of treating each other, each other like this

Think of what we stand to lose
I don't know what we're trying to prove
'Cause after we get it straightened out, baby
We won't remember what we were arguing about

I'll make the first move
Oh, it's lasted long enough
Here we stand in silence
And we should be kissing, kissing and making up

'Cause I, I can't stay mad too long, no, I can't
You can be right this time
And I'll be wrong
Oh, I'll be wrong
I don't mind, I don't mind

Oh girl, 'cause I can't stay mad too long
Listen to me, baby
You can be right this time
And I'll be wrong
I don't care what it costs me

'Cause I can't stay mad too long
No, we know it is wasted time...
