Boxing (University A Cappella Version)

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 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

they seem to think

I'm made of clay, a-

nother 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

no

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?
