Lyrics

Fighter

Round 1

Baby she said, I'm going to put you away
Like Roberto Duran vs sweet Sugar Ray
Playing with me or playin' the crowd
She's either picking me up or knocking me down

But, I'm a fighter, prophet of the street
Got my eyes on the prize of the century
Grower not a shower, body built to please
But I'm so in love, I got her on repeat

Ya, I'm stuck in the moment, playing over
I just want to know her
I'm high on the ceiling
Fighting this feeling, over and over
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
I just want to know her
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
Over and over
, , ,

Round 2

She held me there in the clinch, I couldn't resist
Laid me out on the floor and we wrestled a bit
Off came the gloves, I'm not making this up
Slapped me once in the face, Said to beg for her love

But, I'm a fighter, prophet of the street
Got my eyes on the prize of the century
Grower not a shower, body built to please
And I'm so in love, I got her on repeat

Ya, I'm stuck in the moment, playing over
I just want to know her
I'm high on the ceiling
Fighting this feeling, over and over
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
I just want to know her
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
Over and over
, , ,

Round 3

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Kiss me tender
Sting me like a bee
Floating like a butterfly

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Sweet surrender
Someone's gonna win
Someone's gonna [D/Dsus]cry

Cause, I'm a fighter, prophet of the street
Got my eyes on the prize of the century
Grower not a shower, body built to please
But I'm so in love, I got her on repeat

Ya, I'm stuck in the moment, playing over
I just want to know her
I'm high on the ceiling
Fighting this feeling, over and over
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
I just want to know her
I, I, I
I, I, I
I
Over and over
, , ,

I, I, I
I, I, I
I
Over and over
