The Papas - Wiser Heads (The Ballad of Dave & Gina) Lyrics

Experience is something we're both bringing to the table
You could say we're young at heart, we're also old and able
Discovered common ground in single dad and single mother
Pretty soon the friend that you became became a lover

Six times breaking up led to six times starting over
And six times realising we were wrong
But there's something to be said for wiser heads on older shoulders
There's no time for regrets, no time at all

Gina we've been here before
Leave the baggage at the door
We don't need recriminations
I know we don't always agree
But Gina you've been good for me
It took a while for me to see
But I think we're gonna be okay

You're generous of spirit, I am grumpy to the core
You could give a masterclass in sociability, I wanna be ignored
And I dither, dilly-dally to a deadline
While you're either decisive or impulsive or just headstrong

Hindsight's always sharp in the eye of the beholder
You know that every future's got a past
Guided by our hearts and wiser heads on older shoulders
We'll make sure what we're building's built to last

Gina we've been here before
Leave the baggage at the door
We don't need recriminations
I know we don't always agree
But Gina you've been good for me
It took a while for me to see
But I think we're gonna be okay

Gina we've been here before
Leave the baggage at the door
We don't need recriminations
I know we don't always agree
But Gina you've been good for me
It took a while for me to see
But I think we're gonna be okay
