How come the only time You talk to me is when I'm doing something wrong How come each conversation Starts to turn to aggravation Good God Why can't we just get along I miss the way you used to coo Before you said "I'm through with You" I guess that didn't last long And now the only time You talk to me is when I'm doin' something wrong. I left my home in California Feeling lonely and forlorn and You said you'd take care of me But settling down Just ain't your style Your love went cold after a while And now my heart is buried In a ditch in Tennessee If I knew then what I know now I woulda messed up anyhow I guess that's just the fault Of my brain No matter how I try the end result Is gonna leave me with pain And now the only time You talk to me is When I'm doing something wrong Now each conversation Starts to turn to aggravation Good God Why can't we just get along I miss the way you used to coo Before you said "I'm through with you" I guess that didn't last long And now the only time You talk to me is when I'm doin' something wrong And now the only time You talk to me is When I'm doing something wrong Now each conversation Starts to turn to aggravation Good God why can't we just get Along I miss the way you used to coo Before you said "I'm through with you" I guess that didn't last long And now the only time You talk to me is when I'm doin' something wrong Now the only time You talk to me is when I'm doing something wrong
