[Verse 1] The boys from the Left Bank Always lying in wait Hard looks and blunt-talk lines Never putting on airs [Verse 2] The girls from the Right Bank Their eyes throw off sparks Loud laughs and clenched-up fists Sending everything flying [Pre-Chorus] In the smoke of the corner bars The glasses clink together A shiver runs across my skin Right before it all blows [Chorus] Fighting, fighting It’s a war of the hearts In the tavern tonight We forget what scares us Fighting, fighting But love takes the win In the tavern tonight The bad blood ends here [Verse 3] A big guy throws down a dare To a girl with hair like flame She answers him with one small cry Some crazy little game [Verse 4] Fists are flying, chairs too Then suddenly, silence One look, one grin that goes on and on A brand-new road
