"Crackers" is a song written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, and recorded by American country music artist Barbara Mandrell.

## Content

[edit]

The song describes a woman asking for her ex-lover, who left her after a series of arguments, to come back, as being lonely is too much for her to bear. She decides that the arguments were over things that were trivial, among them eating crackers in bed, and promises that he will be allowed to have his way on them if he comes back.
