My Enemy Lyrics - Electric - Richard Thompson

When you thought I was winning the game 

You came and snuffed out the flame 

You thought you finished me off 

But you just made me strong 

Each time you dealt me a blow 

Each time you brought me so low 

I found something inside to help me along 

My enemy, enemy 

How I need my enemy 

Oh my enemy, enemy 

How I need my enemy

Did I slight you in some little way 

Or does hate help you get through the day? 

One way or another, I'm happy your aim was so true 

If the demons in you hadn't jarred 

I would never have struggled so hard 

The only thing now eating me is, what's eating you? 

My enemy, enemy 

How I need my enemy 

Oh my enemy, enemy 

How I need my enemy 

[x2] 

Now we're just two old men on the brink 

Each waiting for the other to blink 

If I should lose you, I'd be left with nothing but fate 

As I see your life fall apart 

I should smile but I don't have the heart 

At the end of the day, it's still too much effort to hate
