about

"Champion" is the eleventh track from Michael's album Temptation, which releases on September 4, 2020.

lyrics

You kept it on the short side
I never thought that you had it in you
Speaking it like a champion
You’ve got the talk to break a mountain and the whole damn town

I wanna go home where I’ll never ever see you again,
Again, again, again, again, again,
Its the trouble of loving the champion
Its the trouble of loving the hardest to get
The champion who’s loving the champion
The champion building the championship

Move past the lies
And go where you haven’t been
Move past the mind
And go where you haven’t been

When you throw your parties
You kept the center of attention
Make up that horny mind
Shows that you can’t look past a mirror to save your own life

I wanna go home where I’ll never ever see you again,
Again, again, again, again, again,
Its the trouble of loving the champion
Its the trouble of loving the hardest to get
The champion who’s loving the champion
The champion building the championship

Move past the lies
And go where you haven’t been
Move past the mind
And go where you haven’t been

Do you see the people?
Standing in a line
Do you see the people?
Standing in your line
They’d kill for things you take for granted
They’d kill for things they don’t have
They’d kill just to be remembered
But they have the thing you’ll never have

Move past the lies
And go where you haven’t been
Move past the mind
And go where you haven’t been
