(don schlitz/billy livsey) Down the middle of the page i drew a line At the top i wrote my name, the date, the time And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk I decided it was time to take the test On the left i wrote the reasons i should leave The differences that we had forseen By the time i got it all off my chest It looked like we were sure to fail the test I wrote down every fault, i wrote down every fight Every hurtful word we ever said in spite To tear our world apart, i did my best It almost broke my heart to take the test I wrote down every fault, i wrote down every fight Every hurtful word we ever said in spite Then on the right i wrote the reasons why I should stay with you until i die I only wrote one word, no more, no less I knew i was finished with the test The word i wrote was love, and i confess That's the only way to pa** the test
