Boxing Club

In this fancy club
I ran into one of those charmers
Who shakes up the norms
Of classy girls

"Let’s dance" how to respond, uppercut
Hit right in the heart
At two hundred an hour, we’re off

And the stars are flashing by
Yet not so fragile
But his jabs and his spins
Quickly laid me out

They say I’m letting go
I’m letting go, playing the boxer
That in time
I’ll pay for it
But with two points to win
I’m on my tiptoes
To save my pride
That this sweet puncher
Stole from me yesterday

His footwork and his style
Frizzed up my hair
Oh, his jabs and his spins
Quickly laid me out
How to resist

I wake up when the ring comes
Time for a swing
Between a "babe" and two spins
The lightweight had slipped away

For all these years I’ve kept you
Deep in my heart
Like a bad flower
That hasn’t wilted

But I would have loved
For him to have hit
In my mocking eyes
That his fighter
Would never recover.
