He said it was her fault. She said it wasn't at all. But the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Where angels fear to tread, You go rushing in. Well, I had to tell you then, And now I'm telling you again: Stay out of this You must not interfere Don't you see this is Between a man and a woman? Every day and night I pray, Pray that you will stay away forever. It's so hard for love to stay together, With the modern Western pressures. I don't want to say it, But I had to tell you then, And now I'm telling you again: Stay out of this. Oh, I know you mean to help me, And I know you've good intentions. But stay out of this. This isn't your problem. Do not interfere--you are not needed here. Let the pendulum swing Between a man and a woman. Don't you see? you're in the way--between a man and a woman. Every day and night I pray, Let the pendulum swing Between a man and a woman. Between a man and a woman.
