It was more than just any old Friday night fight With your mean left hook and my roundhouse right We were both goin' for the heavyweight crown T-K-O in the very first round Thought you were gettin' the best of me Floatin' like a butterfly, stingin' 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 gettin' along got harder and harder 'Til we were nothin' more than sparrin' partners I did my best to roll with the punches You wore me out with fakin' and a-duckin' Almost put me outta commission But we walked away with a split decision Split decision Split decision Everybody lose and nobody winnin' 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 fakin' and a-duckin' Almost put me outta commission But we walked away with a split decision Split decision Split decision Everybody lose and nobody winnin' Just too tough, I had enough Nobody oughta hafta fight for love Split decision Split decision Everybody lose and nobody winnin' Just too tough, I had enough Nobody oughta hafta fight for love We took a split decision Split decision Whoa baby
