[Intro] [Verse 1] Theodorus is a rival — not a friend, no... But we shake hands anyway, then we shake hands again! There's a fire lately, man, he don't see... Rissa Willowbreeze, she's got her hooks in ME He struts her round the tavern like she's HIS to hold She's dancin' with him slow — man, I feel so cold I'm the beast that howls but has to understand... I'm the beast that howls, but I don't understand! [Pre-Chorus] I play the rival's part Grinnin' through the ache, yeah I smile and raise a glass For both our sakes... [Chorus] YOU KNOW I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! Where do I find — a flower like that? Where's a girl who burns like THAT?! [Verse 2] He calls her "darling" like he owns the word I got a warhound's heart, I got a wolf's nerve I train these beasts to follow, to obey... But she don't look my way, no — she don't look my way! I watch him walk her home past the old gate I'm sharpenin' my axe, sharpenin' the wait... One day the arena, one day the fight Maybe then she'll finally see me right! [Pre-Chorus] I play the rival's part Grinnin' through the ache, yeah I smile and raise a glass For both our sakes... [Chorus] YOU KNOW I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! Where do I find — a flower like that? Like Rissa Willowbreeze... [Bridge] Theodorus... my rival, my curse, my old friend Some rivalries, they don't ever have to end But when it comes to her — that's a different kind of war And I don't know what I'm fighting for... anymore [Build] Anymore! ANYMORE! [Final Chorus] YOU KNOW I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! I WANT RISSA WILLOWBREEZE! Where do I find — a flower like THAT?! [Outro] [Fading, just harmonica and a low howl ad-lib] Rissa Willowbreeze... Where's a girl who burns like that...
