Say the word and I'll turn you loose
|
I got mine now you get yours
|
Just like you I've got my price
|
Sure is nice that someone paid
|
I've got my ticket out of here
|
But for you, I fear, it's much too late
|
It's nothing you can blame me for
|
In love and war
|
It's every man for himself
|
|
All night long same old song
|
Play the game, come on strong
|
You're afraid to show your hand
|
You're not sure she'll understand
|
Your play
|
And when you finally leave alone
|
Do you think that when you're gone she'll say
|
"It's nothing I can blame him for
|
In love and war
|
It's every man for himself"
|
|
Tell me how it feels to cheat a friend
|
Can you lie and steal and feel no pain?
|
One dishonest dollar would burn my hand
|
How can you laugh about it?
|
I can't understand
|
|
From womb to tomb it's nip and tuck
|
Run your race and chase the buck
|
And it's dog eat dog down on the street
|
It's cat and mouse in the penthouse suite
|
Sanity is at a premium
|
Vanity just always seems to win
|
But oh, the prize looks so inviting
|
Shake hands and let the fight begin
|
It's nothing you can blame us for
|
In love and war
|
It's every man for himself
|
