Bloodsport lyrics

[Verse 1]

Nothing is perfect, but your imperfections are quaint

And your love is worth it and for that I will wait

And though you hate me when you have a turn

I drive you crazy, but you always return

[Pre-chorus:]

If I fall short, if I break rank

It's a bloodsport, but I understand

I am all yours, I am unmanned

I'm on all fours, willingly damned

[Chorus:]

Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2:]

Although you love me, sometimes we're mean

Things can get ugly, but we're still a team

We are an army, that breaks from within

But that's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win

[Pre-chorus:]

If I fall short, if I break rank

It's a bloodsport, but I understand

I am all yours, I am unmanned

I'm on all fours, willingly damned

[Chorus:]

Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,

But I don't know if you can help it,

Maybe I'm just being selfish,

Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3:]

I've got your back, and though it's stacked against us,

I've got your hand, it's us against consensus,

And I will burn

The people who hurt you the worst and I will not learn

'Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms

Of breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return

With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor

And they're done now

It's curtains

The bloodlust's a clusterfuck

It hurts but it's working

And even if you ask me to stop

It's too late

Because I've already decided their fate

It's not a distaste

It's pure hate

And it pulsates

And it works its way around my brain

Anyway

What I'm trying to say

Is I'll protect you 'til the day I meet my maker

So don't fight me now 'cause you might need me later

[Chorus:]

Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fighting in a love war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,

But I don't know if you can help it,

Maybe I'm just being selfish,

Loving you's a bloodsport (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
