Lyrics

Harry
Huh?
Do you want to stand there?
Okay
I'm standing here
Now what?
Darling
Just come at me
Okay!
It's the little things you do together
Do together, do together
That make perfect relationships
The hobbies you pursue together
Savings you accrue together
Looks you misconstrue together
That make marriage a joy
Mm-hmm
Well, I could've blocked that
No
That can't be blocked
You want to do it again?
Okay
I'll come at you again
O-kay
It's little things you share together
Swear together, wear together
That make perfect relationships
The concerts you enjoy together
Neighbors you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That keep marriage intact
It's not so hard to be married
When two maneuver as one
It's not so hard to be married
And Jesus Christ, is it fun
It's sharing little winks together
Drinks together, kinks together
That make marriage a joy
The bargains that you shop together
Cigarettes you stop together
Clothing that you swap together
That make perfect relationships
Uh-huh
Mm-hmm
Uncle?
Uncle, your ass!
It's not talk of God and the decade ahead
That allows you to get through the worst
It's "I do" and "You don't" and "Nobody said that"
And "Who brought the subject up first?"
It's the little things
The little things (the little things, the little things, the little things)
The little ways you try together
Cry together
Fly together
That make perfect relationships
Becoming a cliché together
Growing old and gray together
Withering away together
That makes marriage a joy
It's not so hard to be married
It's much the simplest of crimes
It's not so hard to be married
I've done it three or four times
It's people that you hate together
Bait together
Date together
That make marriage a joy
It's things like using force together
Shouting 'til you're hoarse together
Getting a divorce together
That make perfect relationships
Uh-huh
Kiss, kiss
Mm-hmm
