The Champ lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another knockdown
Drag out war of attrition
Fame to trade in poppy style
Full gallop sittin' tall in the saddle
Well, look back and let the arrows fly

[Chorus]
Another hunter has become the hunted
In the blink of an eye
For every hard-won battle, baby
There's a losing side
I'll give it to you
You're the champ tonight

[Verse 2]
High noon and we're standin' on Main Street
All or nothing, and there's no backing out
No second thoughts about a reputation
Just clear leather and the hammer comes down

[Chorus]
Living always and always dying
If only on the inside
For every hard-won battle, baby
There's a losing side
It doesn't matter
You're the champ tonight
[Bridge]
Now you're back on the ropes
With an uppercut coming
Another haymaker and we'll call it a night
But you're wearing me out
And I'm letting my guard down
A rope-a-dope, surprise, surprise

[Chorus]
And now the crowd's gonna get what they paid for
Nobody's taking a dive
For every hard-won battle, baby
I'll hand it to you
You're the champ tonight
You're the champ tonight
You're the champ tonight
