I Ain’t Gonna Argue

I ain't gonna argue with the sun today because it wants to shine; I need rain to wash my pain
away, but I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.

I ain't gonna argue with the moon today because it wants to be full; I need a half-moon so I can
see the stars, but I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.

I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.
I said, I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.

I ain't gonna argue with time today because it wants to be right now; I need yesterday so I can
change my mind, but I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.

I ain't gonna argue with trees today because they give me shade; I need to feel sunshine on my
skin, but I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I 'm just gonna let it be.

Today, I ain't gonna argue like I always do, because it don't help me no way; All it does is make
me sad, So, I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be. 

I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.
I said, I ain't gonna argue. No, not me. I'm just gonna let it be.
