Lyrics

One more time you hurt me
You thought you had your victory
One more reason for you to worry
Cause you got the best of me
You should never count your chickens
Before your eggs get hatched
Cause I believe it, to my soul
You finally met your match
Tell me now
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown
Who it will be
Who it will be
Will it be you
Will it be me
Who will wear the crown
Ever time I kiss ya
I feel I get the upper hand
I want you to surrender
And tell me ya gon' be my man
A slip of the lip has been known to sink a ship
And I believe I believe I believe to my soul
I finally got a winner's slip
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown
Who it will be
Who it will be
Will it be you
Will it be me
Who will wear the crown
