Kick It Again Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

So you heard there was a spark of love alive for you 

You come back to kill it like you always do 

You found it weak and tremblin' hangin' on just by a thread 

And you kicked it choked it stepped on it and broke it left it there for death 

Kick it again it's still breathing 

Kick it again I think I seen it move just a little bitty 

Kick it again it's still living 

So kick it again and then again and then you'll kill my love for you 

[ harmonica - guitar ] 

You're gonna have to do much more this time than a-make it crawl 

And cheatin' on it doesn't seem to work at all 

And it won't do no good to try to shame it to death 

Cause it's raspin' gaspin' crawlin' callin' at you with each dying breath 

Kick it again it's still breathing...
