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 far gone to care

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 togtherness

The strain was finally flt

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

In fighting, in fighting

Starting a relationship at the end of an affair

In fighting, in fighting

Ruthless when you should be taking care

He tore her best friends apart

She tore his best clothes

He bruised her delicate ego

And she bruised his elegant nose

In fighting, in fighting

Starting a relationship at the end of an affair

In fighting, in fighting

Ruthless when you should be taking care

But as the day was dawning

And all the words were finally said

They shrugged in confusion

And fell exhausted back on the bed

In fighting, in fighting

Starting a relationship at the end of an affair

In fighting, in fighting

Ruthless when you should be taking care
