Regina Belle - Love T.K.O. Lyrics






Lookin' back
Over my years
I guessed
I've shedded some tears
Told myself time
And time again
This time I'm gonna win

But another fight
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
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Oh, oh, oh)
Think I'd better let it go
(What you think about it, girl)
Let it go, baby (Oh, yeah)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Mmm, mmm, mmm)

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
Tryin' to hold on
Faith is gone
It's just
Another sad song

I think
I'd better let it go
(What you say about it?)
Looks like
Another love T.K.O
(Oh, oh, ho, whoa, yes)
I think
I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
(Oh, baby)
Looks like
Another love T.K.O
(Mmm, hmm, oh, ho, oh)

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
My faith is gone
It's just another sad song

And I think
I'd better let it go
(Let it go, let it go)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(I think I'd better)
Think I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
(If I know
What's good for you, girl)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(I couldn't stand
This pain much longer)

Think I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
(Whoa, oh, yeah)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Ooh, ooh, baby)
(Oh, sometimes, sometimes
I just feel like I wanna say)
(I wanna say, mmm, mmm)

'Cause it looks like
Another love T.K.O.
(Tired of gettin' beat up by love)
Think I'd better let it go
Let it go, baby
(Before it's too late, yeah)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Hey, ey, oh, yeah)
(Mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm)

Think I'd better let it go
(Yeah)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(Hey, yeah, whoa
I think I'd better)
Think I'd better let it go
(Let it go)
Let it go, baby
(Oh, yeah)
Looks like another
(Yeah) love T.K.O
(Oh, they say love is better
The second time around)

Think I'd better let it go
(I can't stand on my feet)
Looks like another love T.K.O
(I'm falling down, no
'cause, 'cause, 'cause)
I think I'd better let it go
(Let it go, baby)

    💕
    She and Teddy tore this song up.
    When vocals weren’t over shadowed with instrumentals.
    And folk sang!!!
    Like there was no tomorrow 💕
    Them days long gone!

    Now this is what I call real music 😎💥🔥✨💥💞💕😍😌😀

  40. r.... ....

    Omg I never knew there was a video for this!! This was my JOINT when it came out. Still is!! But lawwwd, looking at the publish date of the video, I can't believe that was almost 10 years ago. Oy vey!! But yes, hot fire. 🔥🔥🔥

  41. b.... r....

    Regina Belle sings from the soul, what a terrific cover! David Oliver the owner of the song and Teddy who also covered it would be very proud of her.

    What a song, what a lady- awesMe Teddy.

  54. L.... T....

    My girl Regina did that T.K.O....Yessss

  55. N.... L....

    Love TKO was originally song by Teddy Pendagrass in 1980 then cover by Regina Belle 15 years later in 1995 they both are good singers I think they coulda been a duet partners R.I.P Teddy

    N.... L....

    David Oliver was the first to record TKO.

    N.... L....

    Pert Burton I heard but I think that Teddy Pendagrass sing better than David Oliver and Regina Belle she's good but because she's a female I will compare to them 2

    N.... L....

    I like Regina version also and Bette Midler version is not bad,

    N.... L....

    Quamese Lowery - Armstead The original version was by David Oliver.

  56. P.... P....

    my all time favorite song!

  57. M.... T....

    😙😘😘😚

  58. A.... ....

    Nice Regina, thank you.

  59. V.... C....

    luv this version but my wife thinks TP is better

    V.... C....

    your wife is correct! ;-)

    V.... C....

    Vincent Carter Well Teddy Pendagrass was a good singer I love his version but I will have to go with Regina Belle because the key is different and sounds pure and I love them both but Regina Belle is better

    V.... C....

    Quamese Lowery, It depends on what you are looking for in each Singer,TP voice is more from a Gospel background I love both and it is about what each deliver to you when you are listening to the artist.Some of us ignore the lyrics and just go for the beat and dance mood of the song.

    V.... C....

    Both are awesome

  60. A.... J....

    r.i.p. teddy p. she did your song ......t.k.o.

  61. l.... m....

    Nice song AND a nice voice

  62. T.... G....

    Ohhh damn, my childhood! I love this cover, my Mommy had this album cassette tape and I would ask her to rewind and play this song while in the car. Memories! Thank you and I love you Mommy, now RIP.

  63. R.... p....

    TUDO DE BOM !!!!

  64. T.... J....

    sang it girl!!!!!

  65. T.... M....

    she looks incredible

  66. H.... F....

    First time hearing this. She covered it well. Her voice is awesome.

  67. i.... ....

    Mama Gina ripped this one. I liked her version from the moment I heard it back in '95. I remember my Mom bought this CD. I believe the whole CD is her doing nothing but covers. She also remade The Stylistics "Hurry Up This Way Again" which she did great on as well. She is just a phenomenal singer.

  68. L.... J....

    ive lost and replaced this cd so many times since about 95 or 96 when it was on tape lol  its very slept on i love it the entire cd is regina at her absolute best

  69. �.... O....

  76. M.... F....

    I think I better let it go .love this song.

  77. C.... B....

    Must admit that although I respect Teddy Pendergrass, this version of Love TKO, is my favourite by a mile.

    C.... B....

    I agree with you. I'm listenig here from Brasil. Looollll. Big hug....

    C.... B....

    Guess I have to be the one to agree to disagree. I like Teddy's version not to take away from Regina Belle she did her thing. Guess I'm just a lil bias when it comes to Teddy P. :) Btw... just for the record Love T.K.O was first recorded by David Oliver in 1980 then 6 months later Teddy came out with it.

    C.... B....

    @Marsha Eafen I don't recall Tonya Blount singing Love T.K.O.?? She remade "Love Ballad"

    C.... B....

    @Sean A your right my bad had em mixed up 🤣🤣🤣 probably sipping 🤣

  78. P.... S....

    Let it go, girl!  And sing your song!  She is just amazing.  Her backup girls are no singing slobs either.  Love the way she does Teddy's song.

  79. t.... m....

    look at pam from martin in the background tichinia arnold

  80. 5.... ....

    I love this version. I think she and Teddy had better versions than the original version by David Oliver

    5.... ....

    I still favor Teddy version above them all with Regina's version a close second

  81. E.... S....

    What a great classic this is......

  82. D.... ....

    Now this is singing not the crap we hear today!! Great work regina👏

    D.... ....

    Yes, "Teddy" will be proud.....

    D.... ....

    Ethel Stevens Love I sure that time he had heard her version and he was proud of it 👏👏👏

    D.... ....

    @Quamese Lowery Yes, I believe so as well...Because they have to get permission to cover these songs or else get sued....You know Teddy heard it and got paid a little or either the songwriter got paid.....Because this song was written for Teddy.....

  83. S.... ....

    This is what you call Golden Voice

    S.... ....

    +Ethel Stevens Love Need to find the cd its tucked away somewhere i got on one of Regina's Albums only wish it came on vinyl as i said it Absolute blew me away when i first heard it thou i do love my Club Soul R&B Ballad's etc Regina Nailed this .

    S.... ....

    @David Little Yes she did.........

    S.... ....

    Okay.....

    S.... ....

    First Teddy Pendagrass in 1980 and then 15 years later which it was in 1995 covered by Regina Belle she did real well and I think Teddy was proud of her. Although it's was different key but it was amazing in their own way.

    S.... ....

    SoundVibesRecords yesss

  84. D.... G....

    Love this

  85. a.... e....

    I like this song.....  November 28, 2014  She sings gospel now!........

    E.... S....

    Ethel Stevens Love Yeah and I love her Gospel songs too and if I not mistaken she is back with her new R&B music for the first time in 15 years. So she's doing both now

    E.... S....

    @Quamese Lowery Yes, she is...She recently or suppose to appear somewhere at a later date in the New Year......

    E.... S....

    Ethel Stevens Love in this coming year 2017 ? I have heard one of them like one of the cover of Phyllis Hyman " You know how to love me " it came out in January 2016. I f she doesn't have another R&B or Gospel music coming out in 2017 please let me know ok
