It's a thin line between love and hate It's a thin line between love and hate It's 5 o'clock in the morning And I'm just getting in, I knock on the door A voice sweet and low says, who is it? She opens up the door and lets me in Never once does she say, where have you been? She says, are you hungry? Are you hungry, honey? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat And the woman tells me, pass me your hat All the time she smiles, never raises her voice It's 5 o'clock in the morning And I don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate Don't think you can keep breakin' your woman's heart It's a thin line between love and hate An' she'll sit back an' enjoy it It's a thin line between love and hate She gon' fool you one day The sweetest woman in the world Can be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way, you keep on hurting her She keeps being quiet She might be holding something inside That really really hurt you one day Here I am laying in the hospital Bandaged from feet to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead I didn't think my woman could do something like this to me I didn't think she had the nerve, so here I am I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate Don't think you can keep treatin' your woman bad It's a thin line between love and hate An' she won't ever get mad It's a thin line between love and hate She's gonna fool you one day It's a thin line between love and hate Every smilin' face ain't a happy one
