Lower my defences
And I'll take all the punches
Darling, for you, you
Vinegar my wounds now
Clean the blood off my brow
Darling, for you, you
And I'll duck and I'll weave, but it's all in vain
'Cause when the count's ten, we'll start this again
We'll start this again
And I will fall down
Baby, I will fall for you, ooh
And feel my lips swell
Baby, know that I fell for you, ooh
Cut, bruised and humble
Punch-drunk, I stumble
Over to you, you
In silence, I'm falling (in silence, I'm falling)
The crowds are all calling
I want for you, you
And I'll duck and I'll weave, but it's all in vain
'Cause when the count's ten, we'll start this again
We'll start this again
And I will fall down
Baby, I will fall for you, ooh
And feel my lips swell
Baby, know that I fell for you, ooh
They saw my gloves and shoes
And I will dance for you, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
And I'll succumb to mercy
But you'll only use my weaknesses against me
You'll be watching, watching over
And I will hug the ground
While all the lights are fading out
You'll be watching, watching over
You'll be watching, watching over
You'll be watching, watching over
And I'll duck and I'll weave, but it's all in vain
'Cause when the count's ten, we'll start this again
We'll start this again
And I will fall down
Baby, I will fall for you, ooh
And feel my lips swell
Baby, know that I fell for you, ooh
They saw my gloves and shoes
And I will dance for you, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
