Lyrics The Little Things You Do Together - Stephen Sondheim

The Little Things You Do Together

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
