"The Fight" lyrics

"The Fight"
(feat. John Ireland)

As I walk around New York without you, every street seems to bring back a different part of our life together
Little bars where we'd meet
The museums that I unsuccessfully resisted
And the corner, where we met one Sunday morning and had one of our more spectacular fights
It was Easter, and we'd come out to watch the parade

Hello, hello, hello, hello. Glad to see me?
You're not serious about that hat, are you?
You don't like it?
Well, after all, honey, it isn't Halloween
Halloween? Well!

How did I ever get mixed up with such a fathead?
How did I ever get involved with such a dunce?
How could I ever love a man who has the taste of a goat
And let the best years of my life go all to waste, unquote. Really!
Look, all I said was I didn't like your hat!
I s'pose you'd rather have that dame you used to go with
The one with scraggly hair who never took a bath!
I may be dumb, but I'm twice as smart as you
So there, so scram, so long, get lost, this time we're really through
Look, you're making a big scene over nothing
Go back to your comic books you mental giant
From now on I'm gonna be so self-reliant you won't know me
I don't wanna know you, the way you're acting
You were the one who started it!
I started it? What do you mean, I started it? I'll be the one to finish it!
That's where you're wrong. I'm going to finish it, and right now
Go ahead. Strike me, you brute! You wouldn't dare
Stay away, don't touch me! Don't come any nearer! Or I'll scream!
I mean it! I'll scream! I'll-

There. Now, you were saying?
Saying? Oh, saying. Who cares. Kiss me again
