Down for the Count Lyrics

(Ladies and Gentlemen!
In this corner, weighing in at 131 pounds...
I'm sorry, correction, 126 pounds,
It's the girl that broke my heart!
Isn't she lovely folks?
Just look at that smile!
Draws me in every time...)

Someone call a medic, cause I think she's gonna strike again,
She slammed down the phone and gave the finger to the nightstand,
That holds the picture in the heart-shaped frame we bought at Target,
Yes I think we got a problem but I can't put my finger on it.

It seems like you told me I'm in over my head,
But all I remember is making out constantly,
If I don't get out then I'll probably end up dead,
She's the undisputed champ of my world.

Down for the count,
Over and out,
Toss in the towel cause she really got the best of me.
I can't hang around,
get kicked while I'm down,
What was that sound? I just wish, the f-ing bell would ring.

(Let's get ready for verse number 2!)

The message on the cell says she's wating on the call for me,
To tell her that I'm sorry, I can come back if I crawl.
But I got bad knees, and I can't say that I'm sorry,
'Cept I'm sorry that I met you, now my guard's up and I'm fightin' dirty.

(Wooh!)

It seems like you told me I'm in over my head,
But all I remember is making out constantly,
If I don't get out then I'll probably end up dead,
She's the undisputed champ of my world.

Down for the count,
Over and out,
Toss in the towel cause she really got the best of me.
I can't hang around,
get kicked while I'm down,
What was that sound? I just wish, the f-ing bell would ring.

(7...8...9...10! Knockout!)

It seems like you told me I'm in over my head,
But all I remember is making out constantly,
If I don't get out then I'll probably end up dead,
She's the undisputed champ of my world.
Undisputed champ of my world, and I'm begging to be

Down for the count,
Over and out,
Toss in the towel cause she really got the best of me.
I can't hang around,
get kicked while I'm down,
What was that sound? I just wish, the f-ing bell would ring.

Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the remains of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough to Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... BOWLING FOR SOUP!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today is Gonna Be a Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
