Contender Lyrics

You want to fly on the wings of an eagle
Everybody has to dream
Well you fight like a fighter, you look like no otherTake what you want, you think you'll ride with the demons
As deadly as the seven sins
You think that you're magic, but I'm no believerAnd you fight like a little contender
A broken heart you can never surrender
A thousand kisses, return to senderYour words, they come to no good intentions
You preach every word you say
Your sticks and your stones break more than my bonesYou say you love me, then you hate me, then you're hot then cold
Head to toe in diamonds, you're not undersold
You think that you're magic, but I'm no believerAnd you fight like a little contender
A broken heart you can never surrender
A thousand kisses, return to senderI want to help and I want to protect ya
But you got your spies telling lies
Where do you go?
You change colors like a tiger in the snowAnd you fight like a little contender
A broken heart you can never surrender
A thousand kisses, return to senderI want to love you girl, but somehow I can't let you in

Disguised in all your makeup like the seven sins
You've got your magic, but I'm no believerAnd you fight like a little contender
A broken heart you can never surrender
A thousand kisses, return to senderI want to help and I want to protect ya
But you got your spies telling lies
Where do you go?
You change colors like a tiger in the snow
