Here in my paper crown
With a glass of flat champagne
I'd spar another round
But I'm the only one who's still awake
Oh, say when, say when
And I'm headed towards the shallows
Looks like I won again
Another medal on the shelf
I guess my record stands
But I can't quit until I play myself
Oh, say when, say when

I'm swinging on my shadow
I'm swinging on my shadow
I'm swinging on my shadow
I'm swinging on my shadow

Oh say when, say when
Tell me
Oh say when, say when

I can't say what
Would be enough
I'm not so sure
This is the good fight anymore
To unlace is tough
With both hands in gloves
The good fight, the good
Fight anymore
I don't let go
I don't give in
I don't bow
I don't bend
I won't say no
I won't say when
I fold for no one
And I, I always win

Oh say when, say when
Looks like I win, again, I win again
Oh say when, say when
I win, I win again
Oh say when, say when
I always win, I always win
Oh say when, say when
