That he [did ?] to impress her ?

Does she test me ? Does she know
6
That I would sooner turn and go
7
Than fight another, if that is what she have me do ?

And would she stop and hold me near

I would not fight with hands or words

To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
20
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory

To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory)

[Oh/Or] would I give her up at all

Because I know it could not be better
25
To live without what she provides

When we're alone and I undress her

Does she test me ? Does she know

But fight another, if that's what she have me do ?

SPOKEN [film dialogue] :
31
[Woman] Charlie... I've, uh... I've been with another man.
32
Aren't you gonna say anything ? You're just gonna sit there ?
33
Oh Charlie, I didn't know when you were coming back
34
[or if you ever would.
35
I tell you, the men around here don't respect anything ;
36
[if I told you all the guys that called me up...
37
And then Cliff... He didn't make a pass at me.
38
I mean he didn't even... do it at all, Charlie.
39
[I knew what he wanted, but...
40
he never did anything about it.
41
And then it just seemed like the two of us just had to.
42
[Charlie] I don't think I'm up for any more of this.
43
Why don't you go to bed ?
44
I'll work this all out. [Woman] What are you gonna do ?
45
[Charlie] I'm just gonna sit here.
46
[Oh/Or] is that what she's waiting on ?
47
A-pounding down one standing man
48
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
49
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
50
To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory
51
(To kiss her in a blood embrace of victory)
