[Intro]
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
Tell me how can I compete, when you knock me off my feet?
How I meant to stand up for love
[Verse 1]
You really know me, so much better than I know myself
Oh, and you are happy to show me, loving like nobody else (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh baby, I'm not looking for a one night thing (Oh, oh, oh)
I just want this to be real, tell me
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
[Chorus]
Tell me how can I compete, when you knock me off my feet?
How I meant to stand up for love
[Verse 2]
You got me right, where you want me? (Got me, baby)
Wrapped around your finger tight
Tell me, why you like to keep me guessing? (Guessing, baby)
Trying a work out, what is on your mind? (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh baby, I don't know, why I feel so insecure? (Oh, oh, oh)
I just want to know for sure, tell me
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
[Chorus]
Tell me how can I compete, when you knock me off my feet?
How I meant to stand up for love
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, baby
(How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night) Tell me how
How I meant to say, that's enough? Yeah (Tell me)
How can I compete, when you knock me off my feet?
How I meant to stand up for love, oh-oh
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
How do I stand up for this love?
Tell me how am I meant to fight
How I meant to say, that's enough?
How am I meant to fight
How I meant to say, that's enough? Tell me
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I meant to fight if I surrender every night
How I meant to say, that's enough?
[Chorus]
Tell me (How can I compete), tell me baby (When you knock me off my feet?), I don't love
(How I meant to stand up for love) Stand up for love, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
