Don't kick me when you know I'm down baby

I've got my reasons but you're cherry picking love grenades

Throwing them at me again

 

Don't let me see you with a sad face

Don't wanna see ya

Smashing up all those dreams

That's the way it's always been

 

All good in the hood tonight

Did I forget to mention

A little bit of tension makes the world alright (makes the world alright)

And there's some pain you can't do without (some pain you can't do without)

That's the pain you're tasting

When you started walkin' out

​

Ooh mercy mercy it's a hard game

When love is war

And war will never be the answer

I feel that rage again

​

This is the storm you love to ride on

Your face is thunder

Tears are falling down like rain

On my window pane

 

(Keep on sayin' it)

All good (all good in the hood tonight)

In the hood tonight (all good in the hood tonight)

Did I forget to mention

A little bit of tension makes the world alright (makes the world alright)

And there's some pain you can't do without (some pain you can't do without)

That's the pain you're tasting

When you started walkin' out

 

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out

 

All good (all good in the hood tonight) in the hood tonight (it's all good in the hood tonight)

Did I forget to mention (did I forget to mention)

A little bit of tension makes the world alright (makes the world alright)

And there's some pain you can't do without (some pain you can't do without)

That's the pain you're tasting when you started walkin' out

​

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out

Walkin' out on me yeh, walkin' out
