Bette Midler - Boxing lyrics

Your rating:

Howard, the strangest things
Have 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 intentions
Become not to lose what I've won
Ambition has given way
To desperation and I
I've lost the fight from my eyes.

Boxing`s been good to me, Howard
Now I`m told
"You`re growing old"
The whole time we knew
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
Everyone says I`m made of clay
that I`ve had my day
that I`m not cut out for this
I just know what to say
And I say:

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

Well, sometimes I punch myself
Hard as I can
Yelling, "nobody cares!"
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am
Howard.

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