Don't Fight It

(album: Don't Fight It - 1979)

She's got the answers
She waves them like a flag
She'll take all the cards from the soho league
And stick them in her bag for security

Baby likes her fever
Well, she'll take it all night long
Around the track with the red-eyed jacks
And nothing she can do can be that wrong

Don't fight it
Don't fight it
You've been on the ropes too long
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Nothing she does can be wrong

She's got her reasons
And she wields them like a knife
But she'll take her stand in the underground band
She doesn't know that she's in there for life

But me, I've got my business
And I struggle to keep life sane
But what does it mean, you can't keep your hands clean
'Cause baby's caught up in her social machine

I won't, I won't ever let you down, she said to me
I won't, I won't ever let you down
You've been on the ropes too long
Nothing she does can be wrong

She likes her fever
She says take it like a man
And we fight combat sometimes
But we don't fight it hand-to-hand

And when my world is crumbling
And I go stumbling blind
If I get thin, she'll be there in a pinch
She's got a way to make life feel fine

Don't fight it (I won't)
Don't fight it (let you down)
You've been on the ropes too long
Don't fight it (I won't)
Don't fight it (let you down)
Nothing she does can be wrong
You've been on the ropes too long

I won't, I won't ever let you down, she said to me
I won't, I won't ever let you down
You've been on the ropes too long

Don't fight it
Don't fight it, hey, hey
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
