  • We do it for the children down the hall
    Neither one of us could stand to see them cry
    We do it for your mom and dad
    There's more hearts to think about than yours and mine

    Staying together is what we're supposed to do
    We both know better
    When it comes to me and you
    There ain't nothing sadder
    There ain't nothing colder
    Staying together don't mean it ain't over

    People say that we're the perfect pair
    They ain't seen us sleeping in our separate beds
    We still talk like there ain't nothing wrong
    But now love's the only word that's never said

    Staying together is what we're supposed to do
    We both know better
    When it comes to me and you
    There ain't nothing sadder
    There ain't nothing colder
    Staying together don't mean it ain't over

    There ain't nothing sadder
    There ain't nothing colder
    Staying together don't mean it ain't over Writer/s: Gene Watson
