I'd better wait a little while
Until I call you up on the telephone
I apologize, say I'm sorry
For whatever it is you think I've done
What was so wrong?
Why do the little things
Seem to bother you so?
Try to let the little things
Roll right off of your shoulder
Everything is black and white
I am wrong and you are right, or so it seems
We start to yell, we scream, we fight
And neither of us sleeps at night
Is this the way it has to be?
Why do the little things
Seem to bother you so?
Try to let the little things
Roll right off of your shoulder
Why do the little things
Seem to bother you so?
Try to let the little things
Roll right off of your shoulder
You're the only one that I've got
Oh, you're the only thing that I've got
Try to open up your eyes
You never seem to sympathize with points of view
You are you and I am I and she is she
But what has that got to do with me and you
Why do the little things
Seem to bother you so?
Try to let the little things
Roll right off of your shoulder
Why do the little things
Seem to bother you so?
Try to let the little things
Roll right off of your shoulder, yeah
Try, try, try
To let the little things roll off of your shoulder
Why, why, why
Try, try, try
To let the little things roll off of your shoulder
Try, try
You gotta try, try
Let the little things go
Let the little things go
