I knew when I saw you I'd soon take a fall   You'd have me on my knees but I wouldn't mind at all   You  I'm tough enough to know better but still too weak to resist   So go ahead, take your best shot     Knock me down and love me   Help yourself to a piece of my heart   Knock me down and love me   I don't care if you take me apart   Because you're just so fine   I don't mind   If you knock, knock me down and love me   Knock me down and love me     I ain't got the sense to come in out of the rain   'Cause a fool in love always loves the pain   I could have been a contender 'till you walked through the door   Now I'm down on my knees but I still want more   I give up, baby you win     [Chorus]     Now, sticks an stones may break my bones   Well you can take my love but just don't leave me alone   I know this game, I'm bound to lose   But honey I ain't cryin' the blues     [Chorus]
