We Never Killed Each Other (But Didn't We Try?)

V.1 Our eyes met and I didn't turn sick in the dance hall We took to lovin' and the world didn't end in a fireball As the years went past, my mind never snapped, Though it stretched a lot Now I'm a gettin' out with whatever little good I've got V.2 'Cause you left somethin' on me, you might call an imprint I never realized just how much my own neck meant Guess a man gets morbid when there's pots in orbit and knives aloft Better cut my losses, before something else gets cut off Ch. Yeah, we never killed each other - but didn't we try Never did much harm, though we never let a chance go by You can keep the love, I'm lucky just to be alive We never killed each other, but didn't we try V.3 Well, nothin' says love like an eight ounce glove, you used to tell me But a second honeymoon in the emergency room ain't healthy Though I shot the breeze with some cute md's and a nurse or two I was always too beat-up to ever even cheat on you V.4 Now, I'm no saint with a spotless record, that's certain And if you add it all up, we both had a share in the hurtin' We could check out soon, or we could lick our wounds And just walk away Lay down our arms, and live to love another day
