The Test

The Test - Lari White

Written by：Bill Livsey/Don Schlitz

Down the middle of the page I drew a line

At the top I wrote my name the date the time

And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk

I decided it was time to take the test

On the left I wrote the reasons I should leave

The differences that we had forseen

By the time I got it all off my chest

It looked like we were sure to fail the test

I wrote down every fault

I wrote down every fight

Every hurtful word

We ever said in spite

To tear our world apart I did my best

It almost broke my heart to take the test

I wrote down every fault

I wrote down every fight

Every hurtful word we ever said in spite

Then on the right I wrote the reasons why

I should stay with you until I die

I only wrote one word no more no less

I knew I was finished with the test

The word I wrote was love and I confess

That's the only way to pass the test
