We take the time to get our loving right
To waste it angrily would be a sin
I wonder when we lost the will to fight

Our days seem shorter since we’ve seen the light
We greet each one with vigor to begin
We take the time to get our loving right

The two of us could bicker through the night
The both of us too stubborn to give in
I wonder when we lost the will to fight

We polish simple moments ‘til they’re bright
So memories seem almost crystalline
We take the time to get our loving right

How foolish were we sharpening our spite
That drive to prove who had the thicker skin
I wonder when we lost the will to fight

In victory we’ve learned to take delight
We finally found a way we both could win
We take the time to get our loving right
I wonder when we lost the will to fight
