It was more than just any old Friday night fight With your mean left hook and my roundhouse right We were both goin' for the heavyweight crown TKO in the very first round Thought you were gettin' the best of me Floatin' like a bu*terfly, stingin' like a bee Thought a good fight would get it out of our system But we walked away with a split decision Well, when we first met, you were a real knockout I was head over heels, I was down for the count But gettin' along got harder and harder 'Til we were nothin' more than sparrin' partners I did my best to roll with the punches You wore me out with fakin' and a-duckin' Almost put me outta comission
