Lyrics

[Verse 1] One more time you hurt me You thought you had your victory One more reason for you to worry 'Cause you got the best of me, uh You should never count your chickens Before your eggs get hatched I believe it, mm, to my soul You finally met your match Tell me now [Chorus] When this battle is over Who will wear the crown? When this battle is over Who will wear the crown? Who will it be? (Who will it be?) Oh, will it be you? (Will it be me?) Tell me now Who will wear the crown? Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Every time I kiss you I feel I get the upper hand I want you, ooh, to surrender And tell me you're gonna be my man, mm A slip of the lip has been known to sink a ship And I believe, I believe, I believe to my soul I finally got a winner's slip, yeah [Chorus] When this battle is over, wonder Who will wear the crown? When this battle is over Who will wear the crown? Who will it be? (Who will it be?) Oh, will it be you? (Will it be me?) Yeah, tell me now Who will wear the crown? Yeah, yeah [Outro] When this battle is over, over (I wonder who'll be wearing the crown) When this battle is over, over (Oh, when it's over, children) When this battle is over, over (Yeah, when it's over now) When this battle is over, over (Oh, when it's over, hey) When this battle is over, over (Yeah, when it's over) When this battle is over, over (Yeah, yeah, when it's over) When this battle is over, over (Over)
