oh baby we can fight like dogs, we can fight like cats
a dirty laundry needs a laundry man
maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
baby breathe before you react

sometimes we do forget to behave and we regret what we say
’cause words are too weapons if we don’t choose ‘em carefully
ladies and gentlemen, this is instrumental
if life’s to be a bed of roses
i know i gave you everything you like
because you still give me butterflies

if we just try, try, try
just to be nice, nice, nice
then the world would be a better place for you and i
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me

are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy?
well i’m stoked on gravity
to be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops
now let it in my direction
my direction is up when everybody’s down
’cause i don’t mind being anybody’s clown
i love a little lift ’cause i’m an optimistic
in an altruistic way

’cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony
spreadin’ my philosophy of love and inspiration
oh these words i speak i commit to like a crime
with a rhythm i deliver i’m giving them a picture of the reasons why

we should just try, try, try
just to be nice, nice, nice
so the world could be a better place for you and i
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me

well it wouldn’t cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives
from teary eyes
if we just try, try, try
to open up a can of understanding
open up your heart
i’m just planting seeds
’cause i believe

we could just try, try, try
just to be nice, nice, nice
so the world would be a better place for you and i
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me

if we could try
just to be nice
oh that would be so beautiful to me
that could be so beautiful to me
