Don't go away mad It can't be so bad Don't hold your breath You're scaring me half to death Don't go away mad 'cause that'd really make me sad I know you're burnin' Burnin' like a cigarette I know we're learnin' But maybe we ain't learned nothin' yet Something's burning Don't go away mad It can't be so bad You know what to do I'm leavin' it up to you Don't go away mad That'd really make me sad Smoke is clearing If you just ride with me a while There's no fearing We can work it out in family style If you're willing Don't go away mad It can't be so bad Don't hold your breath You're scaring me half to death Don't go away mad You're the best I ever had What can I do more of To make a little bit of peace and love Don't go away mad 'cause that'd really make me sad
