It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate



It's five o'clock in the morning, and you're just getting in

You knock on the front door

And a voice sweet and low says, who is it?

She opens up the door and lets you in

Never once asks where have you been

She says are you hungry, did you eat yet?

Let me hang up your coat, pass me your hat

All the time she's smiling, never once raises her voice

It's five o'clock in the morning

You don't give it a second thought



It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line (yes it is) between love and hate



The sweetest woman in the world

Could be the meanest woman in the world

If you make her that way

You keep hurting her, she'll keep being quiet

She might be holding something inside

That'll really, really hurt you one day



I see her in the hospital bandaged from foot to head

In a state of shock, just that much from being dead

You couldn't believe the girl would do something like this, ha

You didn't think the girl had the nerve

But here you are, I guess action speaks louder than words



It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line (yes it is) between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate....
