[Intro] [Verse 1 — Her] It was warm in here last August Nothing dramatic, nothing said I was still here in the kitchen But half of you had already left [Verse 2 — Him] Baby, I was right where I always was Nothing broke and nothing tore Just the heat; you know what it does I was standing right by the door [Chorus — both] It could happen tomorrow It could happen next year Honey, I can't tell you precisely It all depends on the shear [Verse 3 — Her] Everything let go at once Everything let go at once Nothing holding, nothing near I been calling out your name How long till you get here? [Verse 4 — Him] It all came apart at midnight Took the whole thing down to one I'm out here somewhere in the middle Tell me where you've gone Tell me where you've gone [Chorus — both] It could happen tomorrow It could happen next year Honey, I can't tell you precisely It all depends on the shear [Verse 5] Bumping into everything, nothing lining up Everyone down here looks about the same Then a little piece of you caught a little piece of me And I didn't even have to ask your name [Instrumental Break] [Bridge — both, harmony] When you stack us up, it all makes sense Nobody to blame, there's no defense We are good and tight, nice and neat But some folks just can't take the heat [Chorus — both] It could happen tomorrow It could happen next year Honey, I can't tell you precisely It all depends on the shear [Ad libs during outro] no defense nice and neat all makes sense beat the heat...
