Between Love And Hate

(アルバム： The Lovin' Machine - 1966)

I love you so much
It never entered my mind
You were laughing at me not with me
And you'd leave me behind

I could never take you back again
You know it's too late
Because it's a mighty thin line
Between love and hate

For a while I died inside
And I cried all the time
Your leaving destroyed me
I forgot the sun was shining

Then one day I got hold of myself
Got over you, now I feel great
But it's a mighty thin line
Between love and hate

Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying I hate you
But I draw the line at memories that hurt me
And you'll never use me again for your stepping stone
Because I also draw the line between dirt and me

If I sound harsh and bitter
I don't mean to sound that way
But I'm off my knees and back on my feet
And I intend to stay that way

I you think I'll take you back again
Don't hold your breath while you wait
Because it's a mighty thin line
Between love and hate
