The Road To Understanding Lyrics - It Never Rains In Southern California - Albert Hammond

Hammond-Hazelwood 

You had your faults, I had mine. Nothing's perfect, is it, baby? 

If we'd given it the time, could have worked things out, well, maybe 

Came to thinkin' what the hell 

Not to dwell up on the problems 

Our bodies came together well 

And that was all we cared 

More and more and more and more 

More of the people gave up looking for 

Avenues to happiness. You hear them say 

"The road to understanding was just too far away." 

While we watched the little things getting out of all proportion 

There was so much more at stake, but we paid it no attention 

I suppose if we had tried 

We'd have saved the pot from boiling 

But we went and let it slide 

Until we lost control 

And more and more and more and more 

More of the people gave up looking for 

Avenues to happiness. You hear them say 

"The road to understanding was just too far away." 

What was bad got worse, what was good just got forgotten 

Could have stopped it there and then, but, girl, we didn't cotton 

In the end we didn't care 

All the love flew out the window 

And I guess, just like you said 

It all got outta hand 

And more and more and more and more 

More of the people gave up looking for 

Avenues to happiness. You hear them say 

"The road to understanding was just too far away." 

More and more and more and more 

More of the people gave up looking for 

Avenues to happiness. You hear them say 

"The road to understanding was just too far away." 

More and more and more and more 

More of the people gave up looking for 

Avenues to happiness. You hear them say...
