Couple of Parts

You've got a lot of guts!
Likewise a lot of nerves.
We also know you're full of heart
As well as angles and curves.

People call you a brain.
Down deep, babe, you're bloody.
Your muscles are as tough as nails;
No body double, buddy.

Sometimes, true, you're an ass,
And me, oh I'm a prick,
But together we're steady hands.
Such a symbiotic trick!
