first he throws her books
then she rips his leather coat
now he threatens that he'll slap her
and he grabs her by her throat

then she kicks him in the jewels
and he backs off for a minute
so hard to think a perfect plan
had so much violence in it

he said to her, "it's all your fault"
and sex with her was over,
she tells him not to brag because
she's found a better lover

the house is quiet once again
it never was a home,
for even though they shared a name
these hearts were never one
