World's Champion Lover

You thought you were the world's champion lover That no one else could hold a light to you But when you were giving all those other girls a demonstration I found another twice as good as you I guess I never would have known the difference If you would have stayed at home where you belong But you wouldn't lay your gloves aside; you had to go down swinging So now I'm doing some swinging of my own You thought that I'd just wait around To pick you up when you went down But honey, that ain't in my book of rules Somebody else has won the bout And you have done been counted out So go and find yourself another fool You had a chance to quit while you were winning But you just wouldn't throw the towel in If you had just been satisfied with what you had at home You wouldn't have lost your title in the end There ain't no use in crying for a comeback You should have known that someday you would lose There's a brand new champion in the ring and he's still going strong And you ain't man enough to fill his shoes You thought that I'd just wait around To pick you up when you went down But I ain't quite the fool you took me for Somebody else has won the bout And you have done been counted out And a has-been champ just ain't worth waiting for And a has-been champ can't be a champ no more And a has-been champ can't be a champ no more And a has-been champ can't be a champ no more
