lyrics

I heard a crack, my head spun 'round
Eyes are rushing toward the mat I'm going down
Going down

There's blood in my mouth, I'm kissing the floor
I came around as I heard them count to three
Count to four

Give up, give up
Do you surrender?

The papers predicted it'd be on the ropes
Can't go the distance this palooka's got no hope
But there's nothing ahead and nothing behind
And nothing will be waiting if I turn my back this time
This time

So give up, give up
Do you surrender?

My head is spinning
My ears are ringing
I'm giving up control
So I open my eyes
Lower my guard
And ready myself for the final blow.

I felt a hand brushing my head
I heard a voice saying "Let's just stay in bed"
The scars have healed, the bruises are gone
I can't believe that I fought this for so long
So long

Give up, give up
I surrender.
