Hostile Witness

Look, I don't want to be the one to martyr you in song
And I don't want to make you think that someday you'll belong
And I don't want to drag this out all night long

You made a lasting impression the first time you made a mistake
You may live you may learn
You may bend you may burn
You may break

What part of love don't you understand
What part of love don't you understand
I am sick and tired of trying to force your hand
What part of love don't you understand

I was seeing stars
Suddenly I was seeing signs
I went double down
On the grandest of designs
But then somebody broke a bottle of
Love potion number nine

Suddenly something was happening that I could not control
Everything in the past was unbelievably dull
And I had no way of knowing I was heading for a world of pain
But when I came to my senses I could smell it a mile away

What part of love don't you understand
What part of love don't you understand
I am sick and tired of trying to guide your hand
What part of love don't you understand

Well maybe I never really loved you
After all was said and done
And most of our moments they were not much fun
Things were getting pretty cloudy for our day in the sun

You made a lasting impression the fourth time you made a mistake
You may live you may learn
You may bend you may burn
You may break

What part of love don't you understand
What part of love don't you understand
I am sick and tired of trying to force your hand
What part of love don't you understand
What part of love don't you understand
