Shel Silverstein - Kick It Again Lyrics

So you heard there was a spark of love that I have for you

You come back to kill it like you always do

You found it weak and tremblin' hangin' on just by a thread

And you kicked it choke it stepped on it and broke it left it half to death

Kick it again it's still breathing

Kick it again I think I seen it move just a little bitty

Kick it again it's still living

So kick it again and then again and then you'll kill my love for you

[ harmonica - guitar ]

You're gonna have to do much more this time than a-make it crawl

A cheatin' on it doesn't seem to work at all

And it won't do no good to try to shame it to death

Cause it's raspin' gaspin' crawlin' callin' to you with each dying breath

Kick it again it's still breathing...
