Some relationships are complicated and rocky... like this song!
lyrics
beautiful enemy
verse:
where am i
must've dozed for a minute
it's my life
and i dreamed you were in it
but you disappeared
when the doctor slapped me awake
in my brain
we were laughing and drinking
and you always
knew what i was thinking
but the champagne glasses we were clinking
started to break
chorus:
and sometimes you don't see what you get
and you never get just what you see
but i don't think i ever have met
such a beautiful enemy
verse:
came an angel
who was shining like crystal
whose feathered wings
revealed a pistol
that was loaded and cocked
and aimed right at my head
we all know
love's a dangerous game
but a moth
can't resist a flame
`cuz without the fire of love
he's better off dead
chorus:
and sometimes you don't see what you get
and you never get just what you see
but i don't think i ever have met
such a beautiful enemy
bridge:
feels more like espionage than it does like romance
and when we make love we do the scorpion dance
and i get stung
verse:
there it is
you can take it or leave it
`cuz the truth don't wait
for someone to believe it
it just slaps you in the face
and keeps moving on
it keeps moving on
chorus:
and sometimes you don't see what you get
and you never get just what you see
and i don't think i ever have met
such a beautiful enemy
