Joe Jackson - We Can't Live Together lyrics

In distant lands

There's no such luxury

You'd give your hand

In pre-arranged matrimony

You'd wear the veil

I'd sit in some caf? somewhere

Instead of this running around

And this right to be free

So pleased with ourselves

But there's one thing I've found

About you and me

We can't live together

But we can't stay apart

We can't live together

But we can't stay apart

In all my dreams

I've wanted someone like you

With no extremes

We'd both do what we have to do

But it's too easy and then it's too hard

And passion gives us away

We know when to play the right cards

But we never know what to say

And we can't live together

But we can't stay apart

We can't live together

But we can't stay apart

Why can't you be just more like me

Or me like you

And why can't one and one

Just add up to two

(guitar solo)

We can't, we can't live together

But we can't stay apart

We can't live together

But we can't stay apart
