Well, a coupla bills were overdue,
When I bought those brand new boots
So I got home and you sure gave me a look
Then I growled and told you just last week
You went downtown to that chic boutique
And bought nic-nacs for the breakfast nook

Steam blew out your ears and you began to yell
One of us told the other one to go to hell

That’s what they call
Escalation
An explosive
Situation
There’s fire in our eyes
Temperatures rise
And they won’t drop
Until we blow our tops
With all the screamin’ I’m surprised
No one calls the cops
On our escalation

Then I opened up a can of worms,
When I talked about your bad home perm
And your nip slip at the Easter fair
I brought up your mama’s bubble butt,
You brought up my daddy’s big ole gut
Even my stuffed grizzly head looked scared

We both said the other one was at fault
It’s a good thing all the guns are in a vault

That’s what they call
Escalation
An explosive
Situation
There’s fire in our eyes
Temperatures rise
And they won’t drop
Until we blow our tops
With all the screamin’ I’m surprised
No one calls the cops
On our escalation

Then you made fun of my big belt buckle
I stood there fumin’ then I chuckled
We laughed our heads off then we talked and listened
Then we stood there in the hallway kissin’

That’s what they call
Escalation
An explosive
Situation
There’s fire in our eyes
Temperatures rise
And they won’t drop
Until we blow our tops
With all the screamin’ I’m surprised
No one calls the cops
On our escalation
