You’re looking at me like I must be mad
But I’ve been through all this before
You’ll kick and kick until I’m down
So don’t think you’re coming past my door oh no!
You think that love is such a pain
So the more it hurts the more you laugh
You take it and shake it up and down
‘Til you think you’ve had enough

But you won’t get enough of my love

If you want to carry on in the same old way
Treating everyone like a piece of dirt
Take it and break it and throw it away
There won’t be anyone left to hurt oh no!

North, South, East and West
Wherever you go you’ll find the same
And the only way you’ll ever learn
Is to realize that you’re to blame
