FIGHTING BACK


We met in high school 
I was homecoming queen
He... the best quarterback 
That you've ever seen

Six feet of handsome 
Every single girls dream
Yeah, the king... he belonged 
To this homecoming queen

Married after graduation
Both college bound
He a scholarship to Harvard
While I attended Brown

The typical young lovers
Grew too tired to touch
Forgot to grow together 
Always taking on so much

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Six months at the gym
Two weeks at a spa
A few minor surgeries
To cover every flaw
Went to sax for a dress
Short, black, and cruel
With a diving neckline
For my Harry Winston jewels
My hair is thick and shining
Like velvet deep and black
Get ready…your highness
This queen is fighting back
~~*~~

I worked twelve hour shifts
As a registered nurse
He interned as a surgeon
Always saw me at my worst

Fifteen years of marriage
We've paid off every loan
Have the best of everything
Money, cars, and home

Somewhere we lost each other
In the daily grind
Now I’m fiercely determined
To fight for what is mine

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Six months at the gym
Two weeks at a spa
A few minor surgeries
To cover every flaw
Went to sax for a dress
Short, black, and cruel
With a diving neckline
For my Harry Winston jewels
My hair is thick and shining
Like velvet deep and black
Get ready…your highness
This queen is fighting back
~~*~~

He was giving a speech 
At the Ritz hotel
His eyes snapped when he saw me
I remember that look well

He smiled at his colleagues 
Said that’s enough from me
I have a date tonight
With my homecoming queen

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Six months at the gym
Two weeks at a spa
A few minor surgeries
To cover every flaw
Went to sax for a dress
Short, black, and cruel
With a diving neckline
For my Harry Winston jewels
My hair is thick and shining
Like velvet deep and black
Get ready…your highness
This queen is fighting back
~~*~~
