about

This song is my favorite from this CD. It's about a girl I dated after getting divorced. A real nut case and a prime example of my big head following my little head.
The Business Doing Pleasure CD was really meant to be my solo CD, but when Paul died we had nothing written to follow up Back For Another Taste, so William Seip (my manager) and I decided to make this the next Helix CD. In retrospect the CD was far too mainstream and poppy to be a Helix CD. Nonetheless, I was very proud of the songs Marc Ribler and I wrote on this disc, especially this song. I thought it was one of the best songs I'd ever written.

lyrics

TUG O' WAR
Verse 1
Caught up in the crossfire
Of the things we said
Lying here so confused
In this empty bed
I'm damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't
Part of me wants to hold on
The other wants to let go

Chorus
We can't live together
And we can't live apart
Girl, you got to stop playing
This tug o' war
With my heart
It's a-
No win situation
And it's tearing me apart
Girl, you got to stop playing
This tug o' war with my heart-yah

Verse Two
I've made up my mind
I'm leaving today
But my heart tells me stop
And I just got to stay, oh girl-
When it's good, it's so good
When it's not it's insane
You're an addiction
I can't seem to shake

Chorus

I don't know about this feeling inside
I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right
All I know is now
It's time to make some changes 'round here

Chorus
