Lyric

If you wanna go back to him, baby get up and goI’m tired of being a clown, caught up in your sideshowNight after night, it never endsIt’s like heavyweight fight, nobody winsI’m throwing in the towel, enough is enough
Knock yourself out, break me in twoYou’ve gotta go do what you’ve gotta doI gave you my best shot, but you didn’t fallHead over heels, in love after allI don’t wanna hear no more, baby there’s the doorThere nothing left to fight aboutKnock yourself out
Let’s not pull any punches while we’re standing here toe to toeIf you’re gonna leave me here baby, go on, go
Knock yourself out, break me in twoYou’ve gotta go do what you’ve gotta doI gave you my best shot, but you didn’t fallHead over heels, in love after allI don’t wanna hear no more, baby there’s the doorThere nothing left to fight aboutKnock yourself out
Oh, knock yourself out
If you wanna go back to him, baby get up and go
