Lyrics
I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down, my baby
I find out everybody knows that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
Oh girl, oh no
Oh baby, I shake you from now on
I’m gonna break down your defenses, one by one
I’m gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
You better beware, I swear
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you, oh girl
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
