It's a thin line, it's 5 o'clock in the morning
And I'm just getting in, I knock on the door
A voice sweet and low says, 'Who is it?'
She opens up the door and lets me in

Never do she once say, 'Sir, where have you been?'
No, she says, 'Are you hungry?
Are you hungry, honey? Did you eat yet?
Let me hang up your coat, your coat, your coat'
And the woman tells me, 'Pass me your hat too'

All the time she smiles, never once raises her voice
It's 5 o'clock in the morning

It's a thin line between love and hate

The sweetest woman in the world
Can be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way, you keep on hurting her
She keeps being quiet, she might be holding
Something inside that really, really hurt you one day

Here I am laying in the hospital
Bandaged from feet to head
Ya, see I'm in the state of shock
Just that much from being dead

I didn't think my woman could do
Something like this to me
I didn't think she had the nerve, so here I am
I guess action speaks louder than words

It's a thin line between love and hate

The sweetest woman in the world
Can be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way, you keep on hurting her
She keeps being quiet, she might be holding
Something inside that really, really hurt you one day

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line, between love and hate

It's a thin line
