Knock-Down Drag-Out Lyrics

Any day now you'll call me up on the phone
Say you love me more than you ever did before

It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home

Take no prisoners here in this knock down drag out war
That we're waging on each other forever more

It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home
Say you love me now

Take no prisoners here in this knock down drag out war
That we're waging on each other forever more
That we're waging on each other forever more

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.

i think this is about a guy being really bitchy to his ex to try and hide the fact that he still wants her, because she is obviously over him. my least favourite song on the green album, but good non-the-less.

i think this is about a guy that has cheated on a girl, which she dumped him for. I think it's basically about him realising he really does love this girl but he's too embarrassed to admitt it, so he is waiting for her to say it first. which really doesn't make any sense, but I'll express my opinion anyway

Maybe you guys are right who knows... I think its about a boyfriend and girlfriend who are just having a hard time getting along. He talks about making it up to her or her calling him up.. sounds like their together and everything, but its just tough.. I remember when I first got the green album I was having some arguments with my girlfriend and this was perfect for me to sing.. It was like he knew exactly what I was thinking. So now we have 4 interpretations.. Why stop there!?!
