You'd start the fire
   I'd fan the flames
   We danced on a wire
   Poison running in our veins
   Who's to bleed and who?s to blame
  
   Blood and thunder
   Quick on the draw
   Putting me under
   Broken dishes on the floor
   Burning what we had adored
  
   Well you can call the dogs off, baby
   I don't hate you anymore
  
   Always frowning, yeah!
   Cursing and howling
   Running battle
   Drawing guns and crossing swords
   Fighting cruel and hopeless wars
  
   Well you can call the dogs off, baby
   I don?t hate you anymore
   Yeah, we can bring the curtain down now, darling
   I don't hate you anymore
  
   And it ain't no good
   No good fussing about it
   No good fussing about it
   Ain't just no good
   No good fussing about it
   No good fussing about it
  
   You'd get suspicious
   I'd try to explain
   Bitter and vicious
   I would strike at you with rage
   Like a panther in a cage
  
   You'd persecute me
   I'd seek revenge
   Always at each other
   Counting faults and keeping scores
   What was all that fighting for?
  
   Well you can call the dogs off, baby
   I don't hate you anymore
