She ran him over like a bus

But he seemed to feel no pain

Just laid there smiling

Like a flower in the rain

She shrunk his ego down so small

That he didn't even know his name

She knew no other way to love

That's how she played the game

But when he got her in a darkened room

In the still of the afternoon

He became her entire world

And she cried like a little girl



The line between pleasure and pain

Can't be measured by means of the brain

Mere reason alone can never explain

How the heart behaves



She wrapped her claws around him

Like a crab around a rock

It was baby this and baby that

She never let him talk

He couldn't see his shadow

She was always in the light

And if he moved she arched her back

And dug her claws in tight

But when he got her in a darkened room

In the still of the afternoon

He became her entire world

And she cried like a little girl



The line between pleasure and pain

Can't be measured by means of the brain

Mere reason alone can never explain

How the heart behaves



And they said that he'd break

How much more could he take

And just when you thought that he'd kill her

She gave him a kiss, it never missed



And then one day she ran away

With a guy she hardly knew

She left a note that said

I'm bored with me and you

He found another girl himself

A high-heeled hurricane

There was no calm inside her eyes

Just a promise of more of the same



The line between pleasure and pain

Could not be measured by means of the brain

Mere reason alone can never explain

How the heart behaves



That's how the heart behaves

The heart goes boom-boom

Take a listen
