Lyrics

VERSE 1
so i catch your eye and when i look you try to just walk on
but you know i saw you watchin while i sat here with my coffee all alone
you're maybe running late for a date or a show
and i can see you wondering, should i stay or should i go?
though i aint a playa or a ladies man,
i bet you i can rise to the circumstance
oh i can work a ring and i will make your heart sing
if you'll give me a fighting chance

CHORUS
i've got a 1-2 left-right combination that'll lift your body off the ground
we'll be dancin and romancing, feel that footwork getting fancy,
swinging for the end of the round
with my Big-Mac Heart-Attack Both-My-Hands-Behind-Your-Back
you'll love it as we're going down
so the battle begins as soon as we shake hands
wont you give me a fighting chance

VERSE 2
now i'm hangin on the ropes just praying for some dope and the bell
but then i see you grinning and you're asking for a pen and my cell
i'm all beat to pieces, i'm nearly gone,
i fought with love and love won
but i can go the distance, i can hold my stance,
i've still got a heart and it's in your hands
my whole life's at stake, i wont throw a fake,
just give me a fighting chance

CHORUS

CODA
You can have my title, you can have my pants,
just give me a fighting chance
a fighting chance

FADE OUT
i float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee,
you better get ready
for a piece of me
