K.O. Lyrics by Dearlie

Dearlie

2017

When it comes to fight or flight I like to spread my wings
But I never fly too far, someone always calls me back
I was never taught to fight, and while I was learning other things
People let their hearts grow hard while I left mine open to attack

I'll never be the last man standing
I usually go down in the very first round
But I'll do my best at pretending
That one good punch won't knock me out

K.O. (K.O.)
And I've barely stepped into the ring
Now I'm up against the ropes of my heartstrings
K.O. (K.O.)
And I swear this time I won't get pinned
But look I'm already letting you win
K.O. (K.O.)
And I really think I'll dodge your final blow (think I'll dodge your final blow)
But I fall in love again, K.O

No matter how hard I train
My opponents beat me easily
What's the point in keeping score
When I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't?
Maybe I could win this game
If I learned to fight dirty
All is fair in love and war
And this is a little bit of both

I'll never be the last man standing
I usually go down in the very first round
But I'll do my best at pretending
That one good punch won't knock me out

K.O. (K.O.)
And I've barely stepped into the ring
Now I'm up against the ropes of my heartstrings
K.O. (K.O.)
And I swear this time I won't get pinned
But look I'm already letting you win
K.O. (K.O.)
And I really think I'll dodge your final blow (think I'll dodge your final blow)
But I fall in love again, K.O

I'll never be the last man standing
But I don't really care if I lose
'Cause what's the point of pretending
That I don't wanna lose?
Oh I wanna lose to you

K.O. (K.O.)
And I've barely stepped into the ring
Now I'm up against the ropes of my heartstrings
K.O. (K.O.)
And I swear this time I won't get pinned
But look I'm already letting you win
K.O. (K.O.)
And I really think I'll dodge your final blow (think I'll dodge your final blow)
But I fall in love again, K.O
