Boxing Lyrics - Ben Folds Five - 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 

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 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus] 

Well sometimes I punch myself 

Hard as I can, yelling 

"nobody cares" 

Hoping some one will tell me 

How wrong I am 

Howard, 

[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 

Has boxing been good 

Has boxing been good?
