Story Behind The Song

I have met many people in my life who have had different types of relationships. But one of the most obvious types of relationships, I found out, is one where at first, one of the partners does not commit himself to the relationship as much as the other half (the other person) does & after they break up, the one who took the relationship lightly would realise that maybe life presented him/her with the perfect match - the one and only real love. However, many times it would be too late when the person realises this and so, the relationship is messed up, up to the extent where the other half (the betrayed person) would no longer accept his/her ex back or to do so, s/he would want to give him/her a hard time to make him/her realise what they've been through.

Song Description

This story is about a young couple who have been in a turbulent relationship and now, they broke up for good. The girl now realises her big mistake - that she treated her man badly - and is using whatever it takes to bring him back. However, the guy now wants to give her some of her own medicine - hard time. Feel the energy between the two while they're discussing their relationship and see whether's there's the chance for them to get back together or not.

Lyrics

Tug of War (A. Azzopardi)

When u were in love with me
Babe I didn't give a what
But now, I just miss those caresses and your kiss
I used to love your touch
Baby now I can't get enough
I can't stand u flirting, with those women over there.

You know I'm sorry babe what's done is done
Now you're never gonna change ma mind
You know u treated me like ssssssshhhhhh
And that I didn't deserve it.
Now it's ma turn, it's payback time
You acted like I was the one committing the crime
So get out of ma life, and never come back again
Cause I'm stronger now and I can heal the pain, what!

Chorus:

Uhhhhh, why can't ya understand?
Everybody deserves another chance
Yeahhh, we could start all-over again
Please let's stop this tug of war
Don't give me a hard time!

I admit I was in the wrong
But can't be punished for the rest of my life
You know I will do
All my best to get back with you
I've changed for the better and now
I really know what I want in my life
Please give me the chance
To prove all that I'm now.

About fuckin' time that you cared about me
Now it's a bit too late, as you can see
I tried to be your perfect man and even your best friend
But you always pretend and never understand
Why you did this to me?
I treated you so well, my last present for you
A first class ticket to hell
So stop beggin' me back this is all I've gotta tell
I feel so damn good, hope you've learned your lesson girl!

Chorus:

Don't give me a hard time
(Enough is enough, don't wanna listen no more)
Don't give me a hard time
(Thank God we're done, once and for all)
Don't give me a hard time
(Yeah)
Don't give me a hard time
(no more yo, no more yo, no more)
No no no any more.
