Stephen Duffy - Love's Duet lyrics

You used to be so fancy free Now you hardly look at me You sweep the leaves out the road And count the snowflakes when it snows Let's cut away the undergrowth Of a love that hurt us both You stroked the cat when it purred But go to sleep without a word Let's work this out tonight Sort out every silly fight Now whistle half a love's duet 'Cause half a love is all you get When you don't play your part When you broke my heart The wind howled through the corridors Of a heart that still adores Life with you when it's so good Is a lesson learnt and understood Love can make you feel a fool Love's unkind and lovers are cruel You make me wish I were dead But I go and feed the cat instead And I can't cope with being unhappy When I know what makes me happy And I love loving you But I can't cope with what it makes me do
