Boxing (A Cappella Version) - Ben Folds
Written by:Ben Folds
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
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
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
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
Wrong I am
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
Has boxing been good
Has boxing been good to you
