The Road To Understanding - Albert Hammond

It Never Rains in Southern California\nThe Road To Understanding\nYou had your faults, I had mine. Nothing’s perfect, is it, baby?\nIf we’d given it the time, could have worked things out, well, maybe\nCame to thinkin' what the hell\nNot to dwell up on the problems\nOur bodies came together well\nAnd that was all we cared\nMore and more and more and more\nMore of the people gave up looking for\nAvenues to happiness. You hear them say\n«The road to understanding was just too far away.»\nWhile we watched the little things getting out of all proportion\nThere was so much more at stake, but we paid it no attention\nI suppose if we had tried\nWe’d have saved the pot from boiling\nBut we went and let it slide\nUntil we lost control\nAnd more and more and more and more\nMore of the people gave up looking for\nAvenues to happiness. You hear them say\n«The road to understanding was just too far away.»\nWhat was bad got worse, what was good just got forgotten\nCould have stopped it there and then, but, girl, we didn’t cotton\nIn the end we didn’t care\nAll the love flew out the window\nAnd I guess, just like you said\nIt all got outta hand\nAnd more and more and more and more\nMore of the people gave up looking for\nAvenues to happiness. You hear them say\n«The road to understanding was just too far away.»\nMore and more and more and more\nMore of the people gave up looking for\nAvenues to happiness. You hear them say\n«The road to understanding was just too far away.»\nMore and more and more and more\nMore of the people gave up looking for\nAvenues to happiness. You hear them say…
