The Boxer

Sara Groves · Other Side of Something [2004]

When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding

When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding, kidding

Cause my ribs are bruised and it's just round two



When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding

When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding

Cause there's a cut on my eye and it's just round five



And I used to be quick I used to see it coming

I used to know how to move my feet

Now I can't duck and I can't land nothing

And I forgot how to bob and weave

Bob and weave



When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding

When you said this was a fight, you weren't kidding, kidding, kidding

Cause this room's in a spin and it's just round ten



If you care at all take that towel from your neck

Cause I've reached down deep and there is nothing left

I've got nothing

I've got nothing

I've got nothing



Greater is he who is in me

Greater is he who is in me

Greater, greater

Greater, greater



Okay, okay



Bob and weave

Bob and weave

Bob and weave



And I can't just know it I've got to feel it

And I can't just feel it, I've got to believe it

And I can't just believe it, I've got to live it
