I Can Hear Her Fighting with Herself - Jonathan Richman

I can hear her fighting with herself

I can hear the words she doesn’t tell

Well right, left, right

I can almost hear the fight

Well a-ring-ring-ring

I can almost hear her thinkin'

Can almost hear her fighting

Can almost hear her fighting with herself

It’s like she wants to scream

But something is paralyzing

It’s like she’d want to talk

But then she turns to walk

I can almost hear the words she doesn’t say

She talks to talk but then she turns away

Well boom-boom-boom

There’s tension in the room

Well right, left, right

I can almost hear the fight

Can almost hear her thinkin'

Can almost hear her fighting with herself

It’s like she wants to scream

But something’s paralyzing

It’s like she’d want to stay

But then she turns away

On one shoulder is the angel

On the other is the devil

It’s like they’re both screaming at her

At some high volume level

It’s like she wants to scream

But something’s paralyzing

It’s like she wants to stay

But she turns away

And I can hear her fighting

Can almost hear her fighting with herself
