(don schlitz/billy livsey)
Down the middle of the page I drew a line
At the top I wrote my namethe datethe 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 faultI wrote down every fight
Every hurtful word we ever said in spite
To tear our world apartI did my best
It almost broke my heart to take the test
I wrote down every faultI 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 wordno moreno less
I knew I was finished with the test
The word I wrote was loveand I confess
That’s the only way to pass the test
