I Can't Stay Mad - Bobby Womack

Talk to me What’s the matter, baby?

I couldn’t sleep at all last night

Thinkin' 'bout our silly fight

Hangin' on to foolish pride

Though it’s killin', killin' me inside

After all that we’ve been through

How could somethin' like this

Come between me and you?

Here we are with our backs to each other

Acting more like strangers than lovers

You stay on your side

And oh, I’ll stay on mine

Someone’s got to give in And I guess, I guess it’s me this time, oh I can’t stay mad too long, no, I can’t

Not when this feelin' I have for you

Is much too strong

Why do we have to play this game

When there is nothin' to be gained?

Let’s fight and get it over with

Instead of treating each other, each other like this

Think of what we’re standin' over

I don’t know what we’re tryin' to prove

'Cause after we get it straighten out, baby

We won’t remember what we were arguing about

And I’ve made the first move

Oh, and it lasted long enough

Here we stand in silence

And we should be kissin', kissin' and makin' up

'Cause I, I can’t stay mad too long, no, I can’t

You can be right this time

And I may be wrong, oh, I’d be wrong

I don’t mind, I don’t mind

Oh, no 'cause I can’t stay mad too long

Listen to me, baby

You can be right this time

And I may be wrong

I don’t care what it costs me Oh, I can’t stay mad too long

No, we know it is wastin' time

Girl, we can
