lyrics

Ouch!
You're hurtin' me, mama!
You gotta let go
Don't squeeze it so
Ooh!
Breaking me in two
What business you got
Lookin' so hot?

No no no, I ain't talking 'bout true love no more
Just do the deed
Gimme what I need
No no no, I ain't knocking when I walk in your back door
No more romance
Now let's just dance, anyway
Not today
Yes it's true girl I sure liked you
Anyway, not today
Yes it's true what's a guy to do

She goes about her business with a hammer and a spike in hand
She likes to drink beer, and she likes to hear the band
Don't know much about love, though I tried to teach her
Why'd I ever think that I could reach her?
Why'd I ever think that I could reach her?

With a hammer and a spike
She nailed my heart
Right up to the wall
She let me fall.
And I wonder what the next one will be like.
With a hammer and a spike
She busted my balls
She let me bleed
Oh yes indeed
And I never want to see her again
Been in love since I don't know when
And I know I'll always miss her now and then...

And if you ain't got no love to give, then you ain't got no life to live.
And if you ain't got no love to give, then you ain't got no life to live.
