The Test Lyrics - Lari White

(don schlitz/billy livsey) 

Down the middle of the page I drew a line 

At the top I wrote my name, the date, the 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 fault, I wrote down every fight 

Every hurtful word we ever said in spite 

To tear our world apart, I did my best 

It almost broke my heart to take the test 

I wrote down every fault, I 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 word, no more, no less 

I knew I was finished with the test 

The word I wrote was love, and I confess 

That's the only way to pass the test
