Boxing

[Verse 1] Howard, the strangest things Have happened lately when I Take a good swing At all my dreams They pivot and slip I drop my fists and they're back Laughing, Howard My intention's become not to lose what I've won Ambition has given way to desperation and I Lost the fight from my eyes [Chorus] Boxing's been good to me, Howard Now I'm told, you're growing old The whole time you knew A couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good to you? [Verse 2] Howard, now I confess I'm scared and lonely and tired They seem to think I'm made of clay Oh, another day I'm not cut out for this I just know what to say I say [Chorus] [Bridge] Well sometimes I punch myself, hard as I can Yelling "Nobody cares!" Hoping someone will tell me how Wrong I am [Chorus] Has boxing been good Has boxing been good to you?
