| 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 I
|
| This 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 I
|
| This 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 I
|
| This 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 |
