(Jim Lauderdale)



Divide and conquer

That's what it's gonna do

Getting near every time

She gets close to you



Crying on her shoulder

You say she's just your friend

Why's she standing in the wings

Waiting for us to end



You don't have to be afraid

While I'm away

So don't go crying wolf

To one who's gonna stake its claim



Divide and conquer

Tearing us apart

Hitting me where it hurts

Taking you by the heart



You don't have to be afraid

While I'm away

So don't go crying wolf

To one who's gonna stake its claim



Divide and conquer

I think you know it's true

Always sticking up for her

In everything that she'll do



Divide and conquer

Divide and conquer

Divide and conquer
