Loudon Wainwright Iii - Reciprocity lyrics

They got drunk last night At a knockdown, drag out fight She was determined and he saw it his way He threw a tantrum and she threw an ashtray They got drunk last night How's this for a "How do you do?" He's unfaithful, she's untrue They're their own masters and they're their own bosses They reserve the right to employ double crosses How's this for a fine "How do you do?" You'd need a chair and a whip To control their relationship Once they were lovers and practically best friends Now he's into bondage and she's into Revenge You'd need a chair and a whip And if one of them should die I suppose that the other would cry There would be tears of sorrow and great grief Or else there would be tears of release and relief If one of them should die
