"Between a Man and a Woman"


The Sensual World
Written by Kate Bush 







 With her hand in his hand,


 They were both happy again.


 You started taking sides.


 They started arguing.


 He said it was her fault.


 She said it wasn't at all.


 But the truth lies somewhere in the midDLe.






      Where angels fear to tread,


      You go rushing in.


      Well, I had to tell you then,


      And now I'm telling you again:






 



           Stay out of this


           You must not interfere


           Don't you see this is


           Between a man and a woman?
  






 


 Every day and night I pray,


 Pray that you will stay away forever.


 It's so hard for love to stay together,


 With the modern Western pressures.


 I don't want to say it,


 But I had to tell you then,


 And now I'm telling you again:






 



           Stay out of this.


           Oh, I know you mean to help me,


           And I know you've good intentions.


           But stay out of this.


           This isn't your problem.


           Do not interfere--you are not needed here.


           Let the pendulum swing


           Between a man and a woman.


           Don't you see? You're in the way--


           Between a man and a woman.
  






 



           Every day and night I pray,


           Let the pendulum swing


           Between a man and a woman.


           Between a man and a woman.
