When Push Comes to Shove

Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear?

Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear

With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks

Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick

When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

Shaking in the desert, wherefore do you cry?

Here there may be rattlesnakes to punch you in the eye

Shotguns full of silver and bullets made of glass

String barbed wire at your feet and do not let you pass

When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

When push comes to shove

When push comes to shove

You're afraid of love when push comes to shove

Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head

Cringing like a baby at the hand beneath the bed

Phantom in the closet, scratching at the door

The latest mystery killer that you saw on Channel Four

When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows

Here there may be roses to punch you in the nose

Twist their arms around you, slap you 'til you cry

Wrap you in their sweet perfume and love you 'til you die

When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

When push comes to shove

When push comes to shove

You're afraid of love when push comes to shove

When push comes to shove

When push comes to shove

You're afraid of love when push comes to shove
