Lyrics

Love with a laugh, with fun or a fight
With a punch in the arm or a rap on the head
Love without question taken for granted
The only love we understand
No crying, no hugging, no secrets, no pain
Soft talk is for pussies, not men
But this is important
I have feelings I don't understand
Understand?
Real men don't have no feelings
We keep shit in
But this is important
Especially then
Real men leave things unsaid
Like the figures at night that surround my bed?
We leave things unsaid
Love with a laugh, with fun or a fight
With a punch in the arm or a rap on the head
Love without question taken for granted
The only love we understand
No crying, no hugging, no secrets, no pain
Soft talk is for pussies, not men
I know what you need
Here, have some fun
But bring it back clean
If you real men, why you come back home every Sunday
So your mama can wash your socks and drawers?
Hey, real men don't do laundry
Love with a laugh, with fun or a fight
With a punch in the arm or a rap on the head
Love without question taken for granted
The only love we understand
No crying, no hugging, no secrets, no pain
Soft talk is for pussies, not men
Charles, are you okay?
What got into you today?
I'm fine, mama
Where you rushin' off to?
Down to the abandoned house
Down by the pond where those poor children drowned?
Who wants to be in a house so drained of joy?
Someone should burn that house down
It's a good place to think
Who could think in a house so sad?
A house of drowned children
Just the thought makes me weep
If I lost one of you
It would be the end of me
Love with a laugh only goes so far
Sometimes I just want it straight
Plain and somber, fragile and naked
Just three words, I love you
No question
