Beaten By The Belle

Of a sudden I see stars

I can barely utter a vowel

I'm down on bended knee

Trainer threw in the towel

 

That's what Bertha did to me

Her beauty rained right hooks

Love peppering me with jabs

Knocked out cold by her looks

 

She didn't pull her punches

Her uppercuts thrown at will

She trapped me on the ropes

Bertha's big punches can kill

 

They carried me...
