Love Tko
Fourplay(포플레이) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over the years
I guess
I've shedded some tears
Told myself time
And time again
This time I'm gonna win
Things ain't right
I'm losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice
And start all over again
Think I'd better let it go, yeah baby
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Oh, oh, oh)
Think I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
Looks like another love T.K.O, oh yeah
Tried to take control
Of the love
Love took control of me
'Cause you lose all thoughts
Sense of time
And have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps
And the bruises
Of all the things
Of a two-time loser
See I try to hold on
Faith is gone
It's just
Another sad song
I think
I'd better let it go
Looks like
Another love T.K.O
(One more time now)
I think
I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
Looks like
Another love T.K.O
Oh, ho, whoa, ho
Ooh, hoo
Oh, ho, oh
Ooh, ooh yeh
And I think
I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Oh my)
Think I'd better let it go
(Every time I get it forward somebody)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(T.K.O. T.K.O.)
And I think
I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O
(T.K.O. got to let it go baby)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(T.K.O)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(T.K.O. got to let it go baby)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(T.K.O)
The song "Love TKO" by Fourplay tells the story of a person who has gone through the ups and downs of love, shedding tears and fighting for love over the years. Despite repeatedly losing love, they still hold on to the hope that this time, things will be different. However, the cycle repeats and they end up losing love again. It takes a toll on them and they finally realize that they have to let it go. They compare it to being knocked out in a boxing match, hence the acronym TKO, which stands for Technical Knockout.
The lyrics indicate that the person has lost control of love, despite attempting to take control. Love took control of them, making them lose their sense of time and have a change of mind. They have taken the bumps and bruises of being a two-time loser and are losing faith in love. They recognize that it's time to move on and allow themselves to heal from the emotional hurt.
The song's message is relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and is struggling to let go of a toxic relationship. It reminds them that sometimes it's better to walk away, rather than constantly losing in love. The smooth melody of the song adds to its emotional appeal and makes it a popular choice for slow dances.

Lookin' back
Reflecting on the past
Over the years
Over a long period of time
I guess
I suppose
I've shedded some tears
I've cried
Told myself time
Reassured myself
And time again
Repeatedly
This time I'm gonna win
I am determined to succeed this time
But another fight
But another struggle
Things ain't right
Things are not going well
I'm losin' again
I'm failing once more
Takes a fool to lose twice
It's foolish to make the same mistake twice
And start all over again
And begin anew
Think I'd better let it go, yeah baby
I think it's time to move on
Looks like another love T.K.O
It seems like another emotional knockout
(Oh, oh, oh)
Tried to take control
Attempted to take charge
Of the love
Of the relationship
Love took control of me
Emotions overpowered me
'Cause you lose all thoughts
Because you become thoughtless
Sense of time
Awareness of time passing
And have a change of mind
And experience a shift in perspective
Takin' the bumps
Enduring hardships
And the bruises
And the scars
Of all the things
Of all the struggles
Of a two-time loser
Of someone who has failed twice
See I try to hold on
I try to hang in there
Faith is gone
Hope is lost
It's just
It's simply
Another sad song
Another tale of woe
I think
I believe
I'd better let it go
I need to move on
Looks like
Seems like
Another love T.K.O
Another emotional defeat
(One more time now)
Let it go, baby
Release it, my dear
(Oh my)
(Every time I get it forward somebody)
(T.K.O. T.K.O.)
(T.K.O. got to let it go baby)
(T.K.O)
