Little Things

Looking over the situation now
I wish I could go and change it all somehow
I'm thinking 'bout the good thing that we had
I could have lived without it
But it don't mean that I don't feel bad
And it's the little things baby that tear the heart in two
The little things baby that make us play the fool
Those little quarrels seem like nothing today
But they brought us down and they put is away
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
It was a little thing baby and that's a great big price to pay
We've still got some lessons to be learned
Pouring out venom baby isn't my concern
Maybe it was you and it was me
Look into the future, well we gotta live it differently
And it's the little things baby that tear the heart in two
The little things baby that make us play the fool
Those little quarrels seem like nothing today
But they brought us down and they put is away
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
It was a little thing baby and that's a great big price to pay
Girl we lost it
We gotta get back in the game
Face tomorrow
Stop getting' broken by the little things
And it's the little things baby that tear the heart in two
The little things baby that make us play the fool
Those little quarrels seem like nothing today
But they brought us down and they put is away
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
And it's the little things baby (it's the little things baby)
Like a little lie, that brings a little less trust
And that grows so big and you watch it bust
And it's a little thing baby but a great big price to pay
It's the little things baby (repeat ten times)
