Lyrics The Sweetest Punch - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

The Sweetest Punch

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
Heres the ring
You dropped the band
I cant understand it Not after what weve 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 could hear it ringing but I didnt see you coming
We all say things we dont mean
You cant take it back
Now the room is spinning but????
??
??
??
??
?
I can see Ill never win
So if youre going, then you better go with him
I only saw stars
I dropped my guard and thats how it ended
What was I to do in the blue corner where I seemed to be suspended?
Then with seconds to go you delivered blow
Here I go
