ELVIS COSTELLO - The Sweetest Punch lyrics

rate me

You only saw red

After I said, "How can we continue?"

Hidden from your view

In the blue corner that I painted myself into

Then we started to fight

And it changed everything

Here's the ring

You dropped the band, I can't understand it

Not after all we've been through

Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I

Will find one to walk right into

You knocked me out

It was the sweetest punch

The bell goes...

I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming

We all say things we don't mean

You can't take it back

Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?

I can see I'll never win

So if you're going

Then you better go to him

Then you better go to him

I only saw stars

I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended

What was I to do

In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?

Then with seconds to go

You delivered the blow

Here I go

You dropped the band, I can't understand it

Not after all we've been through

Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I

Will find one to walk right into

You knocked me out

It was the sweetest punch

The bell goes...

I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming

We all say things we don't mean

You can't take it back

Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?

I can see I'll never win

So if you're going

Then you better go to him

Then you better go to him
