Love T.K.O.
Michael McDonald
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Thinking back over my years I guess I shedded some tears Told myself time and time again 'This time I'm gonna win' But in every fight things ain't right, losin' again Takes a fool to lose twice, start all over again [Chorus] Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Tried to take control of love, love took control of me Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser Try to hold on, faith is gone, it's just another sad song [Chorus: x2] Tried to take control of the love, love took control of me Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser Try to hold on, the faith is gone, it's just another sad song [Chorus: x4]
