Men zegt van liefde dat ze zacht is 
Als een lief en teder woord 
*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 
A knock upon the door 
A voice sweet and low says 
(who is it?) 
She opens up the door 
And she lets you in 
And never once does she say 
"where have you been?" 

She says,"hold it, 
Are you hungry,did you eat yet, 
Let me hang up your coat now" 
And all the time she's smiling 
Never raises her voice 
It's five o'clock in the morning 
And you dn't give it a second thought 

(*repeat) 

The sweetest woman in the world 

Could be the meanest woman in the world 
If you make her be that way 
She might be holding something in 
That's really gonna hurt you 
One of these fine days 

There you are in the hospital 
Bandaged from foot to head 
In a state of shock 
That much from bein' dead 
You didn't think your woman 
Could do something like that to y
