Split Decision

Bonnie Raitt · Slipstream [2012]

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

TKO 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 have to 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 have to fight for love



Split decision

Split decision

Everybody lose and nobody winnin'

Just too tough, I had enough

Nobody oughta have to fight for love

We took a split decision
