The Test

(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 pass the test
