Fight Outta You Lyrics - Singles - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

They'll look you in the eyes and stone you 

Then turn and disown you 

Don't you let 'em take the fight outta you 

They'll walk all over your name 

Till they find someone else to blame 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

Secrets hide their lies 

Inside hidden alibis 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

They put the world on a hook 

It's worse every time I look 

Don't let em take the fight outta you 

I would rather take a punch 

Than not give you a shot 

I'd rather find out who you are 

Than who you're not 

Should've known better 

Than to mistake business for love 

Should've known better 

Than to mistake a fist for a glove 

It will be in your honor until you're not 

Needed any longer 

Don't let 'em take the fight outta you 

Don't believe the headlines 

Check it for yourself sometimes 

Don't let 'em take the fight outta you 

The lies you live become you 

The love you lose, it numbs you 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

They say that you've arrived 

That's just a high class bribe 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

I would rather take your punch 

Than not give you a shot 

I'd rather find out who you are 

Than who you're not 

Should've known better 

Than to mistake business for love 

Should've known better 

Than to mistake a fist for a glove 

There's always someone younger 

Someone with more hunger 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

They'll say you're one and only 

Then straight up leave you lonely 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

Like a transplant patient 

Waiting for a donor 

Don't let it take the fight outta you 

Like a half-empty balloon 

After a party in the corner 

Don't let 'em take the fight outta you
