In Fighting

Maddy Prior


I know you can take care of yourself, he said as he slugged her on the chin
No I can't she screamed at him as she kicked him in the shin
Plates were flying everywhere, cruel words fouled the air
The neighbours heard every word but they were too fare gone to care
Chorus:
In fighting, in fighting
Starting a relationship at the end of an affair
In fighting, in fighting
Ruthless when you should be taking care

After hours of loving togetherness, the strain was finally felt
The teapot hit his forehead but the insults went below the belt
Not the crystal she pleaded anything but the cut glass
But it only proved incentive and it hit the wall an impressive crash

Chorus

He tore her best friends apart, she tore his best clothes
He bruised her delicate ego and she bruised his elegant nose
Chorus

But as the day was dawning and all the words were finally said
They shrugged in confusion and fell exhausted back on the bed

Chorus
