Split Decision

(album: Slipstream - 2012)

It was more than just any old Friday night fight
With your mean left hook and my roundhouse right
We were both going for the heavyweight crown
TKO in the very first round

Thought you were getting the best of me
Floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee
Thought a good fight would get it out of our system
But we walked away with a split decision

Well, when we first met, you were a real knockout
I was head over heels, I was down for the count
But getting along got harder and harder
'Til we were nothing more than sparring partners

I did my best to roll with the punches
You wore me out with faking and a-ducking
Almost put me outta comission
But we walked away with a split decision

Split decision
Split decision
Everbody losing and nobody winning
Just too tough, I had enough
Nobody oughta hafta fight for love
We took a split decision

I did my best to roll with the punches
You wore me out with faking and a-ducking
Almost put me outta comission
But we walked away with a split decision

Split decision
Split decision
Everbody losing and nobody winning
Just too tough, I had enough
Nobody oughta hafta fight for love

Split decision
Split decision
Everbody losing and nobody winning
Just too tough, I had enough
Nobody oughta hafta fight for love
We took a split decision
