Lyrics
Another round, another fight, another lonely night.
Another slip, another slide, aint hard to tell it aint right.
And of all the places I'd rather find myself, it aint here,
no it aint here.
You got me on the ropes, so stop it now,
give me the one you've been saving.
The referee has turned away,
oh babe is he the one youv'e been payin.
And of all the places I'd rather find myself, it aint here,
no it aint here.
Is this the way it's going to end?
In your corner come out fightin best one wins?
I thought I'd learned, all I had to know,
about how to keep your guard up.
But Iv'e met my match and without a scratch, oh baby you've mopped the fight up.
And of all the places I'd rather find myself, it aint here,
no it aint here. No it aint here, no it aint here.
