Lyrics

You hit me once, I hit you back You gave a kick, I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed You hit me once, I hit you back You gave a kick, I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed, whoa My black eye casts no shadow Your red eye sees nothing Your slaps don't stick, your kicks don't hit So we remain the same Love sticks, sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick to the teeth is good for some (A kiss with a fist is better than none) Woo, oh-oh And a kiss with a fist is better than none I broke your jaw once before I spilled your blood upon the floor You broke my leg in return So then, sit back and watch the bed burn Love sticks, sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some (A kiss with a fist is better than none) Woo, oh-oh And a kiss with a fist is better than none You hit me once, I hit you back You gave a kick, I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed, whoa New York Now, I know you did not come here to stand still This is the Dance Fever Tour and we only have a few songs left for you this evening So, in this moment, I will invite you all to dance yourselves to death You hit me once, I hit you back You gave a kick, I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed
