It's a thin line between love and hate It's a thin line between love and hate It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in You knock on the front door And a voice sweet and low says "who is it?" She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says, "Are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat. Pass me your hat" All the time she's smiling Never once raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning You don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate (repeat) The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way You keep hurting her She'll keep being quiet She might be holding something inside That'll really, really hurt you one day I see her in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead You couldn't believe the girl Would do something like this, ha You didn't think the girl had the nerve But here you are I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate (repeat)
