Fighting Fit Lyrics

I can't take it
Too much time's been wasted
I've gotten my plateful
I am fighting fit and able.

I need you
I'm waiting and I'm alone
I wanted to be so bold
But good words are never easy.

I am still young
My blood flowing like a flood
Come and take every single bone
I will give as good as I get.

I can't take it
Too much time's been wasted
So come and get my plateful
I am fighting fit and able.

I can't take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So settle down and let me
Oh I've tasted life and
I'm ready.

Oh I need you
Your shoulders act as my strength
Your skin is my only friend
I seek cover in all your glories.

I am tarnished
I know I have many flaws
But our love it will shatter all
Take me on and we will conquer.

I can't take it
Yes too much time's been wasted
I've gotten my plateful
I am fighting fit and able.

No I cannot take it
When you slide and twist it hurts me
So settle down and let me
Oh I've tasted life and
I'm ready.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is way good. i would say its about a guy wanting a girl real bad even though she doesnt want him...but he cant move on..then he does. hence the hip song. ok. later.

Well it's obviously about a girl he either can't be with or who doesn't want to commit to him. He's still young enough to get spend time experiencing meaningless relationships - 'I am still young, My blood flowing like a flood, Come and take every single bone, I will give as good as I get' could quite easily be a sexual connotation - but he's saying he's been there, done that, and ready for something more real. It seems like this girl cannot quite bite the bullet and commit to him like he wants to.
