The Sweetest Punch - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

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
