"GETTING ALONG WITH OTHERS"

REFRAIN
Getting along with others takes a bit of skill,
Lots of practice and believing that you will.
And when you know just what to do,
And you do it right,
You'll learn to solve your conflicts,
Without a single fight.

VERSE 1
When you're having a problem,
Don't scream and shout,
Or threaten or blame or insult or pout.
Talk about the problem, tell how you feel.
Listen to the others, then make a deal.
Find a good solution. Everyone agree.
Then you can spend more time living happily.

VERSE 2
Yes, there are some people,
Who always think they're right.
They never want to compromise.
They always want to fight.
Don't stay and argue. Turn and walk away.
Tell them you'll come back,
When you can have you're say.
'Cause when your nice, it helps them see,
You can have more fun living happily.
