The Little Things You Do Together - Stephen Sondheim

It’s the little things you do together

Do together

Do together

That make perfect relationships

The hobbies you pursue together

Savings you accrue together

Looks you misconstrue together

That make marriage a joy

M-hm

It’s the little things you share together

Swear together

Wear together

That make perfect relationships

The concerts you enjoy together

Neighbors you annoy together

Children you destroy together

That keep marriage intact

It’s not so hard to be married

When two maneuver as one

It’s not so hard to be married

And, Jesus Christ, is it fun!

It’s sharing little winks together

Drinks together

Kinks together

That make marriage a joy

The bargains that you shop together

Cigarettes you stop together

Clothing that you swap together

That make perfect relationships

Uh-huh

M-hm

It’s not talk of God and the decade ahead that

Allows you to get through the worst

It’s «I do» and «you don’t» and «nobody said that»

And «who brought the subject up first?»

It’s the little things

The little things, the little things, the little things

The little ways you try together

Cry together

Lie together

That make perfect relationships

Becoming a cliche together

Growing old and grey together

Withering away together

That make marriage a joy

It’s not so hard to be married

It’s much the simplest of crimes

It’s not so hard to be married

I’ve done it three or four times

It’s the people that you hate together

Bait together

Date together

That make marriage a joy

It’s things like using force together

Shouting till you’re hoarse together

Getting a divorce together

That make perfect relationships

Uh-huh

Kiss-kiss

M-hm
