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.
