Lyrics
So hear it,

we've been through a lot

We're both hurt - you've cried and I cried

(Tears)

But no one's yet been shot

Our romance has dwindled and died

But it's the flame that will never die

And this is a power ballad

sung about you and I

I usually sing about carnage and rape

But now I show I really hurt

I sit alone with my guitar on a fire escape

In the rain with dry hair but a soaking shirt

There's helicopters with floodlights showing the way

I'm dangerous and this is a power ballad

It's totally not the least bit gay!

I need a string quartet to come in right here

'Cause nothing says rock like cellos and violins

This song's for the ladies while men go get beers

See, I don't just trash hotel rooms and shoot heroin

The video shoud have two sluts fighting over me! (SLUTS!)

'Cause this is a power ballad

It's stupid but I sing with all my might

So let's remember that our flame will never die

'Cause this is a power ballad

Sung about you and I
