[Verse 1]
All I'm tryin' to do is just give you some good advice
And you give it so freely, but hey, this is my life
You don't have to be cruel, you don't have to be so cold
I guess we're both hellbent on keepin' our own control

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just as soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends

[Verse 2]
Mothers, daughters, son, fathers and friends
Siblings, couples and lovers are always in
Some situation forcing them to go
Straight for the heart and injuring the soul

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just as soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends

[Bridge]
We might just start up a fight
'Cause we just can't leave it alone
Tellin' each other, "It's just 'cause I love you"
Are we ever gonna get along?

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
But if we try, you and I could make amends
'Cause in push and pull, nobody ever wins
It's a push and pull, when will it ever

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
