Love Forty Down

I'm love forty down

As the match slips away from me, I need the crowd to pray for me

To turn this one around

I've worked far too hard to be this far from victoryI'm battered and I'm bruised

And I can't afford to loseAnd I'm love forty down

And as life slips away from me, I have to say that honestly

I still haven't found

The person who could take the strain of deuce and fine back againSo, I'll do this on my own

There's no one waiting when I'm doneIn the time it takes for the server to rise and fall

We'll find out if I am a man or a mouse, if I am set to rise or fallAnd I'm love forty down

And I can well recall the day my father reached the ancient age

That I'm now staring down

Through the barrel of my fourth decade and honestly I am afraidAnd I'm long in the tooth

But I'm ready for the truthIn the time it takes for the umpire to flip his coin

We'll find out if I can take the strain if I can make it through break point'Cause I'm love forty down

I'm gonna turn this one around

I'm love 40 down

I'm gonna turn this one around

Break point

Break point

I'm gonna turn this one around
