We know we can hurt each other real bad

You know my weak spots, I know yours

How come we egg each other on and on

Like battered boxers staying the course?

How come we never ever come to blows

When we want to break each other's necks?

How come we stab each other with these words

When all we really want is sex?

Why can't we talk it out

Why can't we fight it out

Why can't we kiss and and go to bed

The seething angers burns around the room

The carefully poisoned arrows fly

And in the morning dirty tired hearts

And the scars of battle in our eyes
