You haven't said a single word to me this morning Still upset about the fight we had last night Well life's to short for silence in the hallway Darling won't you look me in the eye (CHORUS) Time has come for mending fences A little love, will fix things up I know you care let's stop pretending We've been cold long enough So heart to heart Why don't we start mending fences We don't have to be so stubborn and heard headed All those hurtful things we said don't matter now So how about a hug let's start forgivin' There's just one way to work this out (REPEAT CHORUS) (BRIDGE) We may not always see things eye to eye So come a little closer and let's compromise (REPEAT CHORUS)
