down by the river where you met him where you kissed him first where you hugged him like a spider hugs the fly down at your place where the water comes pouring down where you first let him catch your cheerful glance you stand there all alone like a warrior of love and you hoist your axe right before the battle starts deep in the mud by the river where it all begun you tumble down ‘cause you don’t know how to carry on you will never let him down you will never let him down - you will never walk out of this town like an old time champion knocked down you get up again and back there on your feet you wait for round number 12 you work hard 24 hours 7 days a week not to let him down not to really let him down so take your courage and forget about your pride forget about everything you once had in mind he’s fixed on you and you’ve been always fixed on him it could be war it also could be love
