Ben Folds Five - Boxing Lyrics

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 intention's become not to lose what I've won 
Ambition has given way to desperation and I 
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 
In a couple of years I'd be through 
Has boxing been good to you? 

Howard, 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 

Howard 
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? 
Has boxing been good? 
Has boxing been good?
