This Business Of Love Lyrics - Seven Days In Sammystown - Wall Of Voodoo

This business of love will never do 

Not for me and not for you 

This business of love will never die 

Not for you and not for I 

This business of love will never do 

On a midtown bus at 5pm 

He and she begin to fight again 

Knees buckle under and heads are tossed 

As the bus hit brakes and the words heat up 

About money time and remembered slights 

Your career takes away my nights 

Packed so close and packed so tight 

Her hissing words like a fuse ignites 

Him to implode man overboard 

Undermined he overloads 

Over all he does and all she owes 

Sin for sin its blow for blow 

As he wages his holy war 

She just don't want to hear no more 

Pushes to the rear she pulls the cord 

And he chases her to the door 

Got off the bus 

And then she said 

This business of love will never do 

Not for me and not for you 

This business of love will never die 

Not for you and not for I 

This business of love will never do 

Not for me and not for you 

I've been adding it up 

To see where it went 

The love we shared and the time we spent 

Now I gotta take stock 

I gotta get bent 

This two bit heart is worth about ten cents 

I've been adding it up 

To see where it went 

The love we shared and the time we spent 

Now I gotta get straight 

I gotta get bent 

This two bit heart is worth about ten cents 

Even though they were together 

Even though they were the pair 

And even though you never saw'em apart 

And you saw them everywhere 

There was a whole dance floor between them 

There was an ocean in their bed 

From the punches pulled 

And the faces smacked 

Branded by the words they said 

But they were drawn by the thorns 

The dew and the lace 

As they ran their hands 

And wet their face 

In their garden's 

In a secret place 

In paradise at Eden's gates 

But even that couldn't save them 

From all that came before 

Two years and nights 

A thousand fights 

They were far beyond a cure 

They got out of bed 

And then he said 

This business of love will never do 

Not for me and not for you 

This business of love will never die 

Not for you and not for I 

This business of love will never do 

Not for me and not for you 

I've been adding it up 

To see where it went 

The love we shared and the time we spent 

Now I gotta get straight 

I gotta get bent 

This two bit heart is worth about
