(Her) Verse 1
Got just a hint of what was to come
In that first whiff of your natural cologne
Chest set to beating a vi'lent pum-pum
Something inside said I wasn't alone
(Her)Verse 2
But I fought it back like I always did
Road to love's paved like the one to hell
Such a fleeting goodbye to you I bid
Wishing you luck and wishing you well
Oh, wishing you luck, yeah, wishing you well
(Her) Chorus
Try as I might, I couldn't shake you
Beautiful eyes, beautiful soul
Bats and bullets may not break you
But that thing called love always bites you a hole,
That thing called love always bites you a hole in the breast.
(His) Verse 3
I didn't notice you that first night
You walked across my beaten roadside
But as time passed, I noticed the light
Of the radiant glow you couldn't hide.
(His) Verse 4
You warned me 'bout it; but I didn't listen.
The closer we got, the more you pushed away.
There were moments you had my cheeks glist'nin'
You broke it off; I'd more to say
Yeah, you ran off; but I had more to say
(His) Chorus
Try as I might, I couldn't shake you
Beautiful eyes, beautiful soul
Bats and bullets may not break you
But that thing called love, it bites you a hole
That thing called love just bites you a hole in the chest.
Bridge
(Him) Didn't take long for me to miss you
(Her) Couldn't have left you if I wanted.
(Him) Didn't take much for me to kiss you.
(Her) God set my roots and now I'm planted;
(Both) Good to know we can finally rest.
(Both) Chorus
Try as I might, I couldn't shake you
Beautiful eyes, beautiful soul
Bats and bullets cannot break you
'Cause our love fixed the hole,
Yes our love patched up the hole; and we're blessed.
