The Sweetest Punch Lyrics by Elvis Costello

The Sweetest Punch Lyrics

    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
