Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Split Decision

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
