Blood Embrasse

I would not fight with hands or words
Another man – no, that's absurd
Or would Iand would victory betray me
Or is that what she's waiting on
A pounding down, one standing man
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
Or would I give her up at all
Because I know it could not be better
To live without what she provides
When we're alone and I undress her
Does she test me, does she know
That I would never turn and go
But fight another, if that's what she'd have me do


Janet: Charlie... I've been with another man.
Well aren't you gonna say anything?
You're just gonna sit there?
Oh Charlie, I didn't know when you were coming back or if you ever
would.
I tell you the men around here don't respect anything.
If I told you all the guys that called me up...
And then Cliff,
He didn't make a pass at me.
I mean he didn't even... do it at all, Charlie.
I knew what he wanted, but...he never did anything about it.
And then it just seemed like the two of us just had to.

Charlie: I don't think I'm up for any more of this.
Why don't you go to bed. We'll work this all out.

Janet: What are you gonna do?

Charlie: I'm just gonna sit here.
