| Why Can't You Be Like Me (Quealy)
Donny and Doris were havin’ some problems
Keepin their love alive
After 22 years no one could figure
How they ever survived
Well they drove down to Fairview a fella down there
Was counseling couples in great despair
One last hope at the end of the rope
Their love could be repaired
He said why don’t you two tell each other
How you feel bout one another
And he pointed at Donny and told him to start
This is what poured from his heart
"It just aint repairable, you’re so unbearable
Passive aggressive and mean
Unpatriotic and a little phsycotic
Cold as a woman could be
Why can’t you be like me"
Donny got done, he said "doc you’re amazing
I haven't felt this good in years"
Doc looked at Doris, sittin there fuming
Steam coming out of her ears
"If love is not beyond salvation
You gotta vent out your frustration
You can walk out now or you can talk it out
It’s all about communication
If you two love each other
You got to respect one and other"
Looked over at Doris, said" what have you learned ?"
She said, "Doc, I think it’s my turn
hey donnie
Too analytical, selfish and critical
Always so vain it just drives me insane
It’s not right, your uptight keeping me up night
Stubborn as a man could be
Why can’t you be like me"
The doctor closed his eyes and shook his head
Started rubbing his brow
Maybe you can reconcsile
But I just don’t know how
"It just aint repairable, you’re so unbearable
Passive aggressive and mean
Unpatriotic and a weird and phsycotic
Cold as a couple could be
Too analytical, selfish and critical
Incredibly vain, completely insane
This dogfight is not right, you’re making me uptight
Stubborn as two people could be
Why can’t you be like me"
“Only one way clean this mess
I’m gonna tell you right now
Your still in love but love is blind
Your made for each other you're two of a kind
Nothin' in common but your misery say'n
Stop all your whining it’s plain to see
Why can't you be like me"
