Boxing Lyrics by Ben Folds Five

Boxing Lyrics

    Howard, the strangest thing
    Has happened lately when I take a good swing
    And 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 for my eyes

    Boxing's been good to me, Howard
    Now I'm told, you're growing old
    The whole time we knew
    In a couple of years I'd be through
    Has boxing been good to you?

    Howard, now I confess, I'm scared and lonely and tired
    They seem to think I'm made of clay
    Another day, I'm not cut out for this
    I just know what to say, I say

    Boxing's been good to me, Howard
    Now I'm told, you're growing old
    The whole time we knew
    In a couple of years I'd be through
    Has boxing been good to you?

    Well sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can
    Yelling "nobody cares" hoping someone will tell me how
    Wrong I am

    Boxing's been good to me, Howard
    Now I'm told, you're growing old
    The whole time we knew
    In a couple of years I'd be through
    Has boxing been good to you?

    Has boxing been good
    Has boxing been good to you?
