I heard a crack, my head spun 'round Eyes are rushing toward the mat I'm going down Going down There's blood in my mouth, I'm kissing the floor I came around as I heard them count to three Count to four Give up, give up Do you surrender, do you surrender Give up, give up Do you surrender The papers predicted it'd be on the ropes Can't go the distance this palooka's got no hope No hope But there's nothing ahead and nothing behind And nothing will be waiting if I turn my back this time This time So give up, give up Do you surrender Do you surrender Give up, give up Do you surrender My head is spinning My ears are ringing I'm giving up control So I open my eyes Lower my guard And ready myself for the final blow. I felt a hand brushing my head I heard a voice saying let's just stay in bed Stay in bed The scars have healed, the bruises are gone I can't believe that I fought this for so long So long Give up, give up I surrender, I surrender Give up, give up I surrender, I surrender Give up, give up I surrender, I surrender Give up, give up I surrender, I surrender Give up, give up I surrender, I surrender Give up, give up
