Lydia Loveless – Lover's Spat lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I know we just met but I like you a lot
Come home with me tonight
And if it all works out then we can stay all night
We can get into a little fight
And when the cops get called, you can hide in my closet or behind my back

[Chorus]
Why don’t they understand it’s just a lover’s spat?
You know it’s just a lover’s spat

[Verse 2]
So don’t go running around naked by the side of the road
Honey, you look ridiculous
With that cut on your eye and your dick hanging out
Why don’t you care about us
Well, why don’t you stay for dinner or at least a late-night snack
Oh honey, I can’t relax

[Chorus]
To know it’s just a lover’s spat
Oh, you know it’s just a lover’s spat

[Bridge]
Oh, excuse me, I don’t think you know my father

[Verse 3]
Well, it’s just a light, honey, why can’t they see?
Because they don’t understand you and they must not love me
And I don’t really give a fuck if they don’t want me fighting in the street
‘Cause you know when I tell it, I can tell it

[Chorus]
‘Cause you know it’s just a lover’s spat

[Verse 4]
I’m from Milwaukee originally but now I go to OSU
And I can be rich when I get my business degree, well, I’ll take good care of you
We can play the love games for a minute or two, but there’s no turning back
Because when they go looking for you I’m going to tell them

[Chorus]
It was just a lover’s spat
It was just a lover’s spat
You know it’s just a lover’s spat
