The Sweetest Punch

Elvis Costello

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


Here's the ring





You dropped the band, I can't understand it


Not after all we've 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 can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming


We all say things we don't mean


You can't take it back





Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?


I can see I'll never win


So if you're going


Then you better go to him


Then you better go to him





I only saw stars


I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended


What was I to do


In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?





Then with seconds to go


You delivered the blow


Here I go





You dropped the band, I can't understand it


Not after all we've 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 can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming


We all say things we don't mean


You can't take it back





Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?


I can see I'll never win


So if you're going


Then you better go to him


Then you better go to him
