Pullin Punches - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I know you don't hold grudges

Against those who hold that love

You know it's renegade escapades

Can all be traced where he come from

There were times when he went missing

But you could always find his heart

When you head back to Kingston

You can find him on your old block

Do you strike those years from the record?

Or do you take em face to face?

I know you're one to pull no punches, honey

And I love you that way

And the phone rings in the morning

You keep picking up half asleep

At times, he'll call beaming

At times he'll call you in defeat

Do you strike those years from the record?

Or do you take em face to face?

I know you're one to pull no punches honey

And I know you'll never change

When you're pulling into town

You pass the places that you lived and as a kid you moved around

But if you don't mind

But if you don't mind now

No darling, there's no reason to forget

So cancel your plans for the weekend

You'll be taking that greyhound home

And this ain't much for timing

But you can't live scared of picking up the phone

Do you strike those years from the record?

Or do you take em face to face?

I know you're one to pull no punches honey

And I love you that way
