Lyrics

[Verse 1] Always throw the first punch or he'll knock you off your feet Don't believe that he's so sorry In a bathrobe made of fleece He's winding up the wrist watch that always tells the same time Can't you see he's going nowhere and he'll keep you at ringside [Pre-Chorus] Oh, don't stay down, get up girl Why just sleep away the day Well, don't play dead, get out of bed I'll carry you away [Chorus] His talk like love, his kiss like porno He is not the man for you You'd be so much better off without him [Verse 2] All his vows of true love sound like laughter out of court Your long hair flowed like a bridal train until he'll cut it short After he has finished with what he wants you for Without strength left you'll surrender, another little war [Pre-Chorus] Oh, don't stay down, get up girl Why just sleep away the day Well, don't play dead, get out of bed I'll carry you away [Chorus] His talk like love, his kiss like porno He is not the man for you You'd be so much better off without him [Bridge] If he's the man in all your dreams It's time to wake from love's long sleep La, la, la, la, la, la, la [Verse 3] He's got it in his thick head he could recreate your life If you stick around here long enough Your kids will have his eyes I'm knocking at your front door Throwin' pebbles at your screen I would do nothin' to hurt you I wanna see and to be seen [Pre-Chorus] Oh, don't stay down, get up girl Why just sleep away the day Well, don't play dead, get out of bed I'll carry you away [Chorus] His talk like love, his kiss like porno He is not the man for you You'd be so much better off You'd be so much better off You'd be so much better off without him
