The Bottom Line

(album: Bloodline - 1976)

Now we could sit here and reflect on what to do
Face the cold arithmetic dividing me an you
Should we flip a coin or simply reach into a hat
Maybe if we take our time it won't resort to that

We've got these feelings and they just won't rearrange
Further complicated by the way that people change
Now both of us are sensible so there must be a way
To write off all the losses and begin again today
So lets forget the numbers that we do from time to time
We can add the problems up it's the love we can't define

But all that really matters girl
Is whether we can face the bottom line

Now we can leave here with an equal share of doubt
Take along the weakness' we never thought about
And maybe we'll be better off to go our separate ways
If that's the way it ends at least we'll be allowed to say
We did all that was possible whatever came to mind
We lost to all the little things that love can't get behind

But all that really matters girl
Is whether we can face the bottom line
