    Fair

    by: Ben Folds Five

    He shouted out his last word
    And he stumbled through
    the yard
    And she shattered her last
    china plate
    And spun off in the car
    When he lunged onto the hood
    She stopped to tell him she'd
    been wrong
    HE was thrown head over heels
    Into the traffic coming on
    But then
    All is fair in love
    Did you get my other letters
    Sometimes I think I oughta call
    Cause you know I often
    Wonder if you open them at all
    Every couple nights or so
    You know you pop into my
    dreams
    I just can't get rid of you
    Like you got rid of me
    Ohh but I send my best
    Cause God knows you've seen
    my worst
    But then all is fair in love
    All this breathing in never
    breathing out
    I guess she made her way
    Through the mob too late to
    hear him say
    That he'd gotten all he'd
    wanted
    A crowd to watch him bear the pain
    He'd been keeping in
    so what
