|
This business of love will never do |
|
Not for me and not for you |
|
This business of love will never die |
|
Not for you and not for |
|
IThis business of love will never do |
|
On a midtown bus at 5pm |
|
He and she begin to fight again |
|
Knees buckle under and heads are tossed |
|
As the bus hit brakes and the words heat up |
|
About money time and remembered slights |
|
Your career takes away my nights |
|
Packed so close and packed so tight |
|
Her hissing words like a fuse ignites |
|
Him to implode man overboard |
|
Undermined he overloads |
|
Over all he does and all she owes |
|
Sin for sin its blow for blow |
|
As he wages his holy war |
|
She just don't want to hear no more |
|
Pushes to the rear she pulls the cord |
|
And he chases her to the door |
|
Got off the bus |
|
And then she said |
|
This business of love will never do |
|
Not for me and not for you |
|
This business of love will never die |
|
Not for you and not for |
|
IThis business of love will never do |
|
Not for me and not for you |
|
I've been adding it up |
|
To see where it went |
|
The love we shared and the time we spent |
|
Now I gotta take stock |
|
I gotta get bent |
|
This two bit heart is worth about ten cents |
|
I've been adding it up |
|
To see where it went |
|
The love we shared and the time we spent |
|
Now I gotta get straight |
|
I gotta get bent |
|
This two bit heart is worth about ten cents |
|
Even though they were together |
|
Even though they were the pair |
|
And even though you never saw'em apart |
|
And you saw them everywhere |
|
There was a whole dance floor between them |
|
There was an ocean in their bed |
|
From the punches pulled |
|
And the faces smacked |
|
Branded by the words they said |
|
But they were drawn by the thorns |
|
The dew and the lace |
|
As they ran their hands |
|
And wet their face |
|
In their garden's |
|
In a secret place |
|
In paradise at |
|
Eden's gates |
|
But even that couldn't save them |
|
From all that came before |
|
Two years and nights |
|
A thousand fights |
|
They were far beyond a cure |
|
They got out of bed |
|
And then he said |
|
This business of love will never do |
|
Not for me and not for you |
|
This business of love will never die |
|
Not for you and not for |
|
IThis business of love will never do |
|
Not for me and not for you |
|
I've been adding it up |
|
To see where it went |
|
The love we shared and the time we spent |
|
Now I gotta get straight |
|
I gotta get bent |
|
This two bit heart is worth about |
