[Verse 1]
I'm love-forty down
As the match slips away from me, I need the crowd to pray for me
To turn this one around
I've worked far too hard to be this far from victory

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm battered and I'm bruised
And I can't afford to lose

[Verse 2]
I'm love-forty down
As the day slips away from me, I have to say that honestly
I still haven't found
The person who can take the strain of deuce, advantage, back again
So I'll do this on my own
There's no one waiting when I'm done

[Chorus]
In the time it takes for the serve to rise and fall
We'll find out if I am man or mouse, if I am set to stand or fall

[Verse 3]
I'm love-forty down
And I can well recall the day my father reached the ancient age
That's now bearing down
The barrel of my fourth decade and honestly I am afraid
I'm long in the tooth
But I'm ready for the truth
[Chorus]
In the time it takes for the serve to rise and fall
We'll find out if I am man or mouse, if I am set to stand or fall

[Bridge]
In the time it takes for the umpire to flip his coin
We'll find out if I can take the strain if I can make it through break point

[Outro]
I'm love-forty down
I'm going to turn this one around
I'm love-forty down
I'm going to turn this one around
Break point (I'm love-forty down)
Break point (I'm love-forty down)
I'm going turn this one around
