Elvis Costello The Sweetest Punch Lyrics

The Sweetest Punch Lyrics

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
