prize fighter

she's a pillar by the day

a fire by night

she's a famous architect

like frank lloyd wright

when it comes to tightrope walkin'

she's world renowned

her elegance and charm are worthy of praise

and i heard she used to throw for the oakland a's

she works to hard at 68 hours a week

i've yet to meet her match

a marvel of modern science

she's a natural born pioneer

i can't make up my mind

should i put her on display or hide her?

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

i know that she's out of my league

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

my uniform has been decreed

she's a daughter of the gods

got a lot of clout

if she's ever in a bind

i'd get her out

and sometimes i have these nightmares

in the middle of the day

where a head-makin' gypsy steals her away

there ain't no doubt about it

i'm a slave to her shade of love

one day her majesty the queen

unprovoked and unforeseen

she's gonna fly her over to england

put that sword on her shoulder

and knight her!

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

no label's gonna change where she's from

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

and i'm dancin' to the beat of her drum

she's always on my side

rich or poor

and she's with me all the way to the golden door

my lioness

my piece de resistance

my only way

i'm gonna drive me an el dorado

the colour of her monterrey eyes

with twin bullet tail lights

and plates that read desire

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

though the weather may be foul

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

though the wind and the wolves may howl

through the sunshine

through the rain

i'm gonna be her prize fighter

over and over again
