I've been up all night
I watched the red sun rise
Thinkin bout you and me
And girl I think we need to sit and talk
We can't keep on like this
This ain't no way to live
I ain't pointing fingers here
But I think it's clear
It's both our faults
What we did last night was the kind of fight
A kiss won't fix
We're a lot alike and I think sometimes
That's what the trouble is

[Chorus]
Y'always gotta have the last word
And so do I
We say hardheaded heartbreaking things we don't mean that make us cry
You're the match, I'm the gasoline
We're gonna mess around and burn down everything
If we don't get it back to the way things were
Baby goodbye
Is gonna be the last word
How did it get so bad?
Why do we get so mad?
Slamming doors, dishes on the floor
What makes us act like that?
It's like we don't know when enough's enough
I say something
Then you say something
Then it all blows up
[Chorus]
If I could could shut my mouth
I could turn this around before it goes too far
If we could just agree to disagree
It wouldn't be so hard
But you gotta have the last word
Y'always gotta have the last word

[Chorus]
Y'always gotta have the last word
(so do I)
We say hardheaded heartbreaking things we don't mean that make us cry
(y'always gotta have the last word)
And so do I
And so do I...
