Lyrics

All’s I know is time goes on and I’m still stuck with you
If they paint my picture they would paint it black and blue
The rainy day they come and go but my life still despair
I just wish there was someone out there with whom these feelings I share
Walkin’ down the street at night these cars they pass and go
They can see my bruises because that’s all I got to show
This hard-luck life, it good for me, it show me where I been
I’ll never rock, son, I’ll never roll, what, ever again
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
They’ll have me up against the ropes
In a downtown boxing ring
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
They’ll have me up against the ropes
In a downtown boxing ring
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
I don’t wanna get hit, never again
Punchin’ meat in meat lockers has always been so plain
Now I’m livin’ in a box that got me out of the rain
Paulie said he drunk again but that’s alright with me
I know there’s someplace, someplace else, he’d rather be
Yeah!
Now they see you from the rooftops
Yeah!
Now they see you from the rooftops
Once again I see myself through the eyes of a mortal man
Once again I see myself as the man with the fightin’ hands
Once again I stood right up, walked right out that door
I don’t wanna get hit, not anymore
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
They’ll have me up against the ropes
In a downtown boxing ring
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
They’ll have me up against the ropes
In a downtown boxing ring
Adrian… Adrian…
If I lose I still will win
Motherfucker, they’ll never take away my hope in the city I’m in
