Repartee Dukes Lyrics

I'm the typical
Running-from-my-battles
Keep it quiet

No flying off the handle

You're tougher
Confident encounter
You're gonna break the rules
Just because you wanna

I'm nervous
Just keep it on the surface
Don't wanna stir the pot
Or admit i'm jealous

Calm down
It's safer on the ground
If it doesn't keep the peace
Don't say it out loud

I wanted to resist this
Love affair with conflict
I got my share of wounds
I don't need them from you
No matter how i fight this
You've showed me that you're worth it
So let's start a war
‘cause you're worth fighting for

C'mon over and we'll settle it right
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you
I'll fight for you
Don't want the pain but i'll take it stride
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you

Don't want a
Big ego
They tell us when we're little
It's better to be quiet and to not cause trouble

Sit pretty
Keep everybody happy
Don't speak up, you don't wanna be bossy

You came along
Broke it all down
You saw fire and you didn't wanna put it out No crutches
I'm rolling with the punches
We flicker like a flame burning everything it touches

I wanted to resist this
Love affair with conflict
I got my share of wounds
I don't need them from you
No matter how i fight this
You've showed me that you're worth it
So let's start a war
‘cause you're worth fighting for

C'mon over and we'll settle it right
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you
I'll fight for you
Don't want the pain but i'll take it stride
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you

If i turn away now
Do i lose this battle?
Will you stay around
If i back down?
If i back down?

Or do you wanna fair fight
Because i'm your equal?
You wanna get in my mind
Know what i'm like, oh

I wanted to embrace this
Boring lack of conflict
But that was all before

C'mon over and we'll settle it right
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you
I'll fight for you
Don't want the pain but i'll take it stride
Put your dukes up ‘cause i'm ready to fight
For you
