(Your Love is Like a) Hand Grenade Lyrics

You looked at me, I had it made

Like a gambler who's just got paid

Now I know my hand was overplayed

Cuz your love is like a hand grenade

I thought the anger would someday fade

That I could break down your barricade

I was fool to be so unafraid

Cuz your love is like a hand grenade

Your love blows me to pieces

It catches and releases

This feeling never ceases to amaze

Your love is like a hand grenade

So we hide behind the window shade

Making lemons out of lemonade

I know what happens to a dream betrayed

It explodes just like a hand grenade

Your love blows me to pieces

It catches and releases

This feeling never ceases to amaze

Your love

You can take shelter from the wind in a hurricane

But you ain't got a snowball's chance against a hand grenade

Just give it a spin, loser needs a win

Now you're too far under my skin

So put that pin back in

Both hands where I can see 'em, step away

This pain, it never stops

Do I throw myself on top

And sacrifice my life In a noble trade

Or let you blow us both to hell with a hand grenade
