Dolly Parton - Push and Pull

All I'm tryin' to do is just
Give you some good advice
And you give it so freely
But hey this is my life
You don't have to be cruel
You don't have to be so cold
I guess we're both hellbent on
Keepin' our own control

So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just
As soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh
It never ends

Mothers, daughters, son, fathers and friends
Siblings, couples and lovers are always in
Some situation forcing them to go
Straight for the heart and injuring the soul

So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just
As soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh
It never ends

We might just start up a fight
'Cause we just can't leave it alone
Tellin' each other
"It's just 'cause I love you"
Are we ever gonna get along?

So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
But if we try, you and I could make amends
'Cause in push and pull, nobody ever wins
It's a push and pull, when will it ever
