Lyrics
VERSE
"Hi, hello, how are you? Let me introduce myself.
I live right over there; saw you walking your dog.
Mind if I tag along? That is, if there's nobody else.
I come this way a lot; it's where I jog."

PRE-CHORUS
As it happens, "hello" became "I do"
But will "I do" last a lifetime?...

CHORUS
There's way too much "I do" and "goodbye"
And, sometimes, "goodbye" comes quite soon
It's so easy for love to become out of tune
Yes, there's way too much "I do" and "goodbye"

VERSE
We live in a world of instant decision making
Everyone wants to be right about everything
We don't even hear the sound of our hearts breaking
We're just gone, leaving behind that golden ring

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
So here's my new prescription for myself:
Take your time, think it through
And try your best to keep it together

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
There's just way too much "I do" and "goodbye"
